The skinny ringmaster is in my opinion much nicer than the fat head. And in terms of home use it really doesn't effect ball hang ups very often, I can understand why they made the change for site use, but in the home the skinny is the one you want. I have had 2 sample CV's over the years, I have played with both fatty and skinny and other than the occasional ball hang up every 20 odd games it plays the same but looks 10x better
