Pinching my cyber help

[Hunter]

What is the best method(boiling, baking, brute force technique) to use while pinching my Cyber without weakening it too much. cuz i just bought it and i dont want to have to buy another one just because it breaks. A kid on my team bought a cyber and pinched it by tying a belt around it really tight then a week later in practice his cyber broke.

Thanks for the input

uhh cybers r pretty weak heads from my experience ne way. There r plenty of threads on this but i would like to no which weakens the head the least.

that was my main concern with the cyber. it is really weak and i know that pinching it the wrong way will make it brittle and flimsy.

don't pinch a cyber. the things so weak that you'll make it extremely weak. Now it can't be that weak you say, well we have a cyber lying in our locker room broken in SEVEN, 7, hear me? 7 different places. 3 on each sidewall IN DIFFERENT spots and one crack clear through the scoop. When anyone says they are considering a cyber we show them that.

Doesn't sound like your normal Cyber ^. I wouldn't base your veiw on a head by just one situation. I just pinched my Cyber a couple days and it turned out great. I mixed *almost* boiling water with really hot water from the sink, and put the head in for about 3 minutes. Then I shoved two balls in it (one in the throat and one right on top of that). I then wrapped a bunch of nylon (or sidewall string, whatever you want) around the sidewalls where I wanted the pinch. Also make sure you put a 6.5 inch pencil in the scoop to keep it from becoming illegal. I let the head cool down then put it back in the water another 3 minutes or so. Then I just let it sit overnight with the strings on. In the morning I took em off and it was fine. The head only expanded about a quarter inch and now its perfect. I'll try to get pics if you want.

ive seen many heads break in 7 different places, including an evo, a revo, a blade, a razer, etc. I used my pinched cyber for a year and it broke at a freezing cold practice only because I hit it on the ground because I was mad.

There's pics in my webshots if you wanna see mine. I don't think it looks all that pinched in the pic but it actually is. They're in the album labeled Cyber.
