Bone – I believe you are confusing terms. The Massai head is by ABS, who also sells the Ashby head. There is only one ABS Ashby head and the Doc would not approve of the convex design. I personally won’t shoot anything but straight-edged heads as concave has never come out well in Ashby’s rigorous testing, and convex heads tend to sharpen unevenly, seeking flatness, and too easily become unbalanced from side to side. And a reminder that while Ashby gave ABS permission to use his name on a head — a mistake, because it causes all kinds of confusion and unfounded attacks on Ed as “commercial — Ashby doesn’t get a penny from sales and has never taken anything free, even for testing. Even the pay for his TBM articles goes straight to charity and never crosses his palms. If you want a really heavy, virtually indestructible head, go with the ABS Ashby. My take, dave
