i am tired of having to buy new heads because of face offs... i used to just a fuse but i fell in love w the way that the E3 throws and cradles but it is so flimsy that is warps so fast...
is there anyway i can make a head stronger or stiffer so it wont warp so fast?
im not a rich man... i can't keep buying new heads...
any advice or directions would be great....

um....no......maybe try an answer or something uber flimsy so it bounces back into place
also, this question has been asked many times. Please search next time

e3 not stiff enough??!
stiffer heads-clutch,proton,x2 if you can find one, x3,cannon,proton power
also if you dont mind playing with a wet pocket, bring out a bucket of ice and submerge the head of the stick in the ice untill you take the draw then when you come off put it back in, thats what i do in the summer when my heads would become moosh.

try a hype, bionic or motive.
The double sidewall of the hype makes is monster stiff and they are cheap.
there was a thread going on recently about a guy putting in specifically sized wood blocks after every faceoff to help prevent perm warping.

That was Alex Smith, the #1 FO guy in the country...
H2's are really stiff but might crack...

The helix is amazing it is pinched light and has a special sidewall so the back part is wider than the front for FOs plus it is just a amazing head

how quickly does it warp?... i dont want to invest 120 bucks on something that will break or get ruined just as fast as a 60 dollar head

get a laser hi-wall if you can find one anywhere. if you can't, go with a clutch. several places sell it unstrung for $80. i'll try and find the links for you.

I have gone through a couple bionics in the last couple years, but they have done me good on face offs..I would suggest checking em out, last time i looked they have gone down in price considerably.

good idea but that might weaken the head and might crack, maybe.

if your looking for a faceoff head that wont warp, i definitley recommend the clutch. ive taken about 300 faceoffs so far this season, and it hasnt warped at all. plus its a great all around head too
