The Leaf is a legend with a new name and face.
This return top is the origin of our groundbreaking “double rim” design. Copied by many but never truly duplicated, the double rim allows for a weight distribution that provides power balanced with float, a feeling that would become a hallmark of all of our return tops.
The Leaf is an updated version of the Chief, one of the earliest return tops we ever released and arguably our most popular. At the time we didn’t understand the harm we were causing by using First Nations imagery to sell a return top, but once we grew up a bit and learned better we stopped immediately and the design has been dormant while we figured out how to improve it for current play, in a way that still holds true to the quality and pedigree of the original.
The changes we’ve made are minimal to the eye…slightly increased width, different hub, and subtle adjustments to the weight distribution. We’re pleased with the result….a return top that feels like the original but with a little extra something that just feels right.
Different enough from the original to avoid any confusion for collectors, but similar enough to bring you that same joy when you get it in your hand. Welcome to the Leaf.
Each Leaf ships with string, sticker, and a Leaf logo enamel pin.
