instead of wraping a ton of tape around the head i always take a strip of tape..maybe 2 inches lone ..split it in half and put the 2 strips on oppostie sides of the shaft then i put the head on a pound it..it will stay on good and wont add extra weigfht from tape

I had the same problem with a bionic and i did the same thing that kerm said and it worked great, no rattling at all.

Put the tape on top of the shaft (across the hole leaving an inch of slack on both sides overlapping) and bang the head on. In some cases this works better than a screw...

If you know you aren't going to be moving the head off the shaft anytime soon, you can glue it on with a hot glue gun. To break in a leather pocket you can do the knife and a ball trick, pound the sh|t out of it, or loosen up the leathers and play alot of wall ball. Either way you got to do some adjustments.

I kind of have the same problem with my head except I think my screw is actually coming loose by itself. After playing one or two games, the head becomes quite loose and I have to tighten the screw again everytime. Does this happen to anyone else? Do I need a new screw or something? Thanks.

Boil the throat, expand it so it fits on, push it in, and when it cools it *should* shrink back around the shaft.
