Riks are maybe a little thicker walled I think, both are good though. I prefer the riks as it means I can keep the shaft thinner at the end using an m4 bolt to attach the head. I've never played with an angled head but not so sure it'll work well for hardcourt. I think on grass you tend to hit and chase more, whereas we do a bit more close ball control and pushing and shuffling with the flat side, I reckon an angle would interfere with this
