I dont know, some people say it makes the head bubbly but it is just a fiddle stick.

Use the boil method, works the best. Dont use colored string thou, it dyes to the head where the string touches the head.

whatever you do, DO NOT put it in the microwave. Heads+microwave=bad bad things. I suggest using the boil method.

i pinched a supertoss. I used the oven, it didnt take too long, and it came out nice. I suggest using that method.

i put mine in the microwave but it put bars on the head so i will never do that again. I am doing what ei lacrosse said to do.

do not microwave it. when i was i sixth grade i had an x1 and since i was the goalie i didnt reall ymatter to me so i miced it. what happens when u microwave a head is the waves inside that heat everything up focus on one point of the head (the middle). what happened to mine was it started bubbling and the sidewall breaks.

do NOT put a head in the microwave, especially with mesh in it, the strings melt to the head and then the head burns, if you put it in without mesh the head can melt, i have a pic of my friends head with a melted part

I pinched my brine supertoss in boiling water for like 5 mins then let it sit out to cool off.
The pinched stayed, don't take what you think is the easy way out because it could cost you a head.

Use a blow dryer. Put it on high and keep heating it up eventually it will become very flexible, then pinch it the way you want, tie it tight with some kind of lace. Finally once you've done all of this put it in the freezer for atleast 1/2hr. That how I pinched my X2. Hope this helps.
