Trinidad barrels — Gomez 11 (soft tip)

Placing cuts only where needed, the ultimate simple design.
The main gripping area consists of only 3 ring cuts. By making the top and bottom without any grooves, this emphasizes the 3 ring cut to allow the player to firmly grip the barrel.

By further adding taper near the back end of the barrel, this assists in providing support during the throw. 4 ring cuts for the index finger and 3 ring cuts for the middle finger are placed on this barrel. The cut placement on this barrel consists of only where the fingers actually make contact with the barrel.

The drilling of the thread is similar to the Gomez10. By minimizing the threads at the front and maximizing the drilling at the back of the barrel, the center of balance was brought to the front as much as possible.
