Frequently Asked Questions

The included Power heads are decent starter heads, but serious players will likely want to upgrade to a premium set for optimal tone and feel.
Absolutely. The chrome hardware is robust and designed for the rigors of regular use, though protecting the American Walnut finish is crucial.
