I'm right handed and all my eclipses seem to bend to the right after using them for more than a month or so. I have always used eclipses' and like the way they feel and throw, but I don't get why they always bend a certain way. I'm wondering if lefty's bend the other way? Does anyone else have this problem?

Though my Eclipses bend during use, they never stay that way. And when you say they bend to the right, do you mean when you're looking at it from the front of the head, or from the back? If from the front, then it makes sense since you are sweeping the head from right to left, which will bend the head to the right when you contact the ground.

Also, are you leaving them somewhere warm overnight?

Its prob what old goalie said, the constant sweeping across the ground prob warped ur head.

I've had my eclipse for a year and it hasn't warped at all, and it has taken plenty of abuse. You must be doing something weird with it.

I do live in FL so the warm weather might be why its happening. I also checked with our other goalie and he said his does the same thing but after long periods of time.

Oldgoalie- while looking at the front of the head

I bet you what it is is how you put it into your car. It sounds stupid but that happened to mind and that was the reason.

eclipses are a very flexy head so its bound to happen
