So seeing that the wizard is supposedly one of the stiffest heads ever made, i decided to buy one brand new off of eBay. It came with tags and all so i know for a fact it was brand new. When I tested the stiffness, the thing flexed and bent like crazy. Honestly, my answer is stiffer than this thing right now. It was never even used, but I have no idea how the thing got so flexible when it was never used. Im thinking it maybe be real soft because it was cold when it was shipped or something, but i really have no clue Is there anything i can do about it?

was it pinched? Perhaps it is a second generation wizard (if they made one)

it's supposed to get stiffer when cold. That's why heads break in the cold, because they tend to be brittle and snap

might have been in extreme heat...my friend left his helix in his car with a bag on top during summer, the head was warped like crazy. the wizard could have been in heat in the box and since nothing was on it it probably didnt warp but just get flexy

moral of the story: don't trust ebay

I wouldn't say don't trust Ebay, just be cautious and ask lots of questions when thinking of making a purchase. There are definately some great finds on there, but you have to be careful.
