Warrior Heads?

[riddlebox]

For some reason, no warrior heads fit on any of my shafts. I have a blade 2.0, and an evo pro, and i have about 7 different shafts, none of which are warrior. I can't even fit the head on the shaft. I have 4 gait shafts, and 3 STX shafts. Do warrior heads only fit on warrior shafts? From my findings, they do. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any way to fix it?

i had an evo pro once a brine supra and also on a gait vitality...but are you saying its loose on the shaft or the screw is out of place...cuz mine was a little bit loose and i put tape on the inside of the head and it worked out fine

No i mean the head wont even go down onto the shaft. No matter how hard I push on it it wont go down. I have no idea if the screw holes line up or not because the head isnt even close to going down that far.

heat up some water, adn put the throat in, itll expand the plastic

[riddlebox]

Will that break the throat at all if I try to put it on to roughly after heating it up?

[mdlaxman]

you dont need to heat it up just wiggle them on there. i work at a lax store and i put warrior heads on stx and gait poles all day long. any head fits any pole cept crankshaft heads and poles which even then still fit just arent legal. the only head that is hard to get on to poles is the liquid onto a vanadium.

I tried "wiggling" it on for almost an hour, and still nothing.

haha that same thing happened to my blade 2.0 f-off which i bought on ebay. what i did was find my worst shaft. I managed to wiggle the head on there. Some of the plastic inside the head will come off but no big deal. After i got it on my worst shaft i kept putting it on my next best shaft. Eventually i got it on my gait liquidmetal

do what hhh says and if not just get both the throat and the shaft wet with a lil water and it should go on i had a lil problem with a razor pro and brine sc21 myself and i used just hose water so

this may be a bad idea but worked for me just put the head in the shaft and get a hammer and just lightly tap it till it fits worked for mky friend with his helix and sc+ti when it didn't work, but my evo pro and scandium fit just fine, wierd

well your are going to have to drill another hole after you do get it on there...

or you could just use tape

oh...WD40 helped me a ton when that happened. spray the top of the shaft with it and the inside of the throat

One word.

Hammah(specifically, a rubber mallet for me).

[brainddeadjock]

chamfer the edges of the shaft a bit. The 90 degree edge is catching.

Believe it or not, the tight fit is a very good thing, that way the head won't rattle on the shaft in 6 months

Is the shaft you're using painted? The paint will add some thickness to the shaft and it will be a tight fit. The lax store I got my son's set up last fall pounded the head on the shaft and they were both warrior products.
