Hi Tom, I really like the deep front to back look and how easy this head is to close compared to typical 380cc heads. The ideal replacement would probably be 420-460cc deep front to back with shorter toe to heel, with a deep GRT face and heavy back weight. Basically a larger volume 919ccg with a GRT face. That would be a worthy replacement for the 919 and certainly better than Nike's clone( ;-) ) of it.
