Sprue Gate
The Sprue gate is used when  Single cavity cylindrical parts need to be balanced and concentric.  Sprue gated pars  have very good weld-line strength (if any), and typically are lower stressed, and are of high strength.

A Sprue Gate will leave a significant Scar equal to the size of the sprue diameter at the point of contact of the part.
