Does this happen to you guys? Its really annoying becasue your head get wobbly and you cant get a nice pass off, i have to tighten it all the time. Is mine coming loose becasue im using a money on a K-pro? Do i have to use a brine shaft?

No, that's a common problem. I have a Nemi on a Kpro and the same thing happens. Just tape it.

-Pull the head off,
-wrap a layer or two of athletic tape or hockey tape around the top of the shaft,
-run the socket under really hot water for a minute
-Jam the head on over the tape.

Fit is so tight, you won't need a screw*. I usually put one in anyway.

*last time I stripped one of my heads, it took me and my friend five minutes of tug-of-war to get the sucker taken apart. I am a ~200 pound adult, my friend has 50 pounds or more on me, so the head damned well ain't coming loose from a few slap checks or shots!

The point was to hold the head on, so I wanted it to get stuck.

I only took it off because I wanted to swap shafts.

Get bigger screws from a hardware store!!! They're cheap and don't come loose. I haven't tightened mine for 2+ years now, and it's still really tight.

:idea:


just tape around the head a few times, right over where the screw goes. you dont even need a screw, it could be a small stick that fits in the hole even, it keeps the head on the shaft, and the tape keeps the screw (or stick) in the shaft. good luck.

yeah just like rockstar said put a layer or two of tape under the head on the shaft and that should do it, has worked for me for many years now and if you want ot be extra safe you could do this as well as tapin over you screw hole so its is extra tight
