wat end of the metal pole does the head go on cause my pole doesnt have two holes i already screwed the rubber thing to the one hole but i went threw 2 heads already cause i went to shoot in my backyard and the end flew off and it stuff in my back yard im think of just using hot glue moxed with super glue to keep it on and one more question do u put extra peices of the foam on the side of the head to reduce vibratio.?!?!?

ps. im very new to the game

haha it shows, it goes on the end w/ the screw holes and screw(shafts usually come w/ screws in em), if u wanted instead of superglue(which would prevent u from switching heads on it i think) just use a strip of athletic tape to keep it on, i may not have answered ur question correctly cuz ur post was confusing as hell

Ok I this is confusing but I think what you're saying is that you put the end cap on the end of the shaft with the hole, so now you can't put the head on. Or something along those lines. Just leave the endcap where it is, it's probably fine. Put the head you want on the shaft, it doesn't matter what kind. Mark with a sharpie or pen where the hole matches up on the shaft. Find a drill bit that matches the screw, and drill a clean, straight hole. Put the head on the shaft and hopefully the hole on the head will match up with the hole on the shaft. Put in your screw and you're ready to go. Hopefully that wasn't to confusing.

Oh and the extra peices of foam are ballstops I think. The on the most bottom part of the inside of the head to prevent cracking.

Sorry if this caused any confusion. Did my best without pictures.

You can also go out to wal*mart and get 1/8 inch self tapping/drilling metal screws...Put you're head on the shaft, and drill through the metal with you're head in place...it will be the right size screw, and you're head will stay on

Aye, the foam pieces are indeed ball stops, which just keep the throat from cracking when hit in that one place.

You put the end cap, or butt, on the side that was intended for the head to be attached, not a problem, just drill another hole. Nothing will be different except for the sticker/decal of the stick's model might be backwards or upside down.

Any other questions dont hesitate to ask...most of us are extremely glad to help

OK, unscrew your buttend/rubber thing and put it on the opposite end of the shaft. Then, put your head onthe part of the shaft with the predrilled holes and then screw the head on so it doesn't go flying off.

it doesnt matter. the head can go on either end and the butt cap can go on either end. i'm not a fan of the self tapping screws, they can mess up the plastic of the head, a drill bit wont do that

head can go on either end, and then you can make a hole using a drill

correct me if i'm wrong.. but the ball stop is designed to take spin off the ball, in order to help it work into your pocket... It does nothing to prevent cracking..

As far as your head screw problems.. it sounds like you may have drilled a hole in your butt end to then screw it on to the shaft? We.. usually, to keep the butt end in place, you only have to tape it a bit with athletic tape.. then you screw your head on the shaft... If the hole in your shaft doesn't line up with the hole in your head (lax head that is), then you have to drill another hole.. as previously posted..

hope this helps

If you need any more help.. with anything lacrosse related, don't hesitate to pm me..

actually back in HS i saw several heads without stops crack when hit in the throat area, but that was years ago, and havent seen anything like that in many, many years

As far as your head screw problems.. it sounds like you may have drilled a hole in your butt end to then screw it on to the shaft?

jeez i hope not!

^
But end goes here ^
where there is no hole You slide the head on this side
untill the hole in the head lines
up with the hole in the shaft.

then take a screw and stick it
into the hole in the head. Then
screw with a screwDriver untill
the screw is tight.

P.S.- The dot on the end of the shaft is used to represent the hole.
