<html> <body> 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.
