Ok after intensive (not really) examining of my Klyte wire shaft I have determined there is a bend in my shaft. I noticed first when I was attempting to scoop a ground ball, I couldn't get the darn thing in! Then when I was cradeling I noticed a slight difference in the feel. Finally after shooting awhile I realized my shots are off. Here is a picture:

Sorry for the crappy paintjob, photoshop wasn't available.
Anyways is this reason for concern? Should I call warrior and activate my warranty dealy? Thanks.

Great post moron!

Get up a better picture, one from the side so the dent would be easier to see.

i think it was a bit bard to tell where the curve was in the second 2 pics, but id say that if you think that the bend is affecting you playing ability and botehrs you, try to refund it. and it should be noted that if a dent is sefnificant it makes the stick weaker there and more easy to break. happened to a kid on my team once.

The bend is VERY clearly depicted in the first picture you can follow the outline of the stick and tell its messed up, I emailed warrior already just to see what they do. the stick bends to the right at a 177ish degree so the head is off to the side somewhat, the more I think about it the more it bothers me.

i bent an Al shaft like that and i just bought a new f15. i would try to refund it if i were you. no reason playing with a bad stick if you dont have to.

The curve is clearly noticable. If the shaft is within its warrenty send it in and get a new one. If it isn't than you're kind of screwed.

lol my aim changes on a daily basis, try my lax orented one "justballdown" as for the shaft still as new as when i got it. i need money and have no real need for a dpole. but for a kid who bent your krypto, do you think the db8 would hold up?

Eh i dunno I got it by giving big polish marvin a beastly over the head check that dented both of ours. But his got messed up a lot more than mine. I might invest in a scandium or if I get crazy a stx ti. We shall see, I'll catch you on aim sometime.
