First manufactured in 2003, the Triton was designed by Paul Gait, and has lots of design features and a few innovations. The design is radical looking. The bottom of the side wall where the pocket is attached has huge holes, almost like an open sidewall. The bottom of the sidewall almost splits into two parts as it stretches to the scoop. The inner part rises, lifting the pocket and throw strings to a point higher on the plastic. This raises the pocket, which promotes a quicker release. It also narrows the catching area near the scoop or top of the head.

It is not an offset design. It drops down from the throat and then rises at the scoop, creating an almost curved effect. The weight range of the empty head is about 147 grams, one of the lightest on the market. As with many heads, the weight is taken out by making holes. This head is good for D-men as well. It is durable, and versatile in terms of having options for pockets. Holes run all along the bottom of the sidewall. In other words there are potentially many, many ways to put a pocket in this head.

The scoop has a "snow shovel" look to it. The blade is wide, and when flat it becomes a groundball magnet. Multiple holes in the scoop take out weight as well. The walls on the side maintain a 2" measurement, which helps the pocket maker to place the pocket in different places and still get excellent hold and control of the ball.

The throat area on the Triton is fairly traditional. The back of the throat resembles the old Edge design. The Triton is probably not the greatest head for whacking, though, because it is so light. The design has a good setup for traditional (leathers) and Rock-it Pocket stringing because the holes on the scoop for the leathers help protect the leathers by its design. On the throat, the 4 holes are placed well for the leathers.
