HOW THE KEEL FLIES.
Set a strike from our free-kick spot, 24 m out and left of centre. The Keel is drawn solid; the Hook and the Moth take exactly the same strike as outlines.

CONSTRUCTION
THIRTY-TWO PANELS, STITCHED.
Twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, stitched along 3.84 m of seam 1.08 mm deep. That is the most seam of the three, and seams are what the air catches first. A Flare ring sits inside each pentagon, so you can read the spin from the stand.

CHOOSE IT IF
You want the flight you strike: its drag changes least between a soft strike and a full one.
SKIP IT IF
You strike most free kicks through the middle and want the ball to move: that is the Moth.
