Speaking of head angles, I have my #2 on a 15 degree head. I didn't really get to like it. I use it for grands or uprights where I have clearance issues. What I've come to like best is my shortest hammer with a ball end and a 5 degree tip with a #1 Watanabe. Some really tight pinblocks make me reach for that tank of an extension hammer I have but for the most part short seems to be good.
