I learned something from Art Fawcett regarding blocks a while back and it has proven to be a useful bit of good advice. Don't go by the size that's stamped on the block. As you see, we both have blocks that are stamped 7 1/8 but with different measurements. Per Art, you want to find a block that measures 1/4 inch larger than what your head measures to make up for the sweat installation. For example, my head measures out at 22 3/4, (7 1/4). Therefore, I need a block that measures 23 inches in circumference. So when you're searching for a block go by the circumference measurement rather than going by the size stamped on the block.It's interesting how two 7 1/8 blocks can measure so differently. Tough to find the correct measurements for what a person needs.
