I do know this.
Magnus makes more then just a few heads.
Each individual company has there own specs for that head. Magnus blades are of the best he can do. Other companys can and do omit quality control steps throughout the process that can lead to a lesser head. This is coming from a buddy of mine, the R&D for magnus.
So it makes me wonder if something here hasnt changed like yall are saying. Not that he cant still make a good head, that these heads in particular have been ordered a certain way through a specfic process.
Has anyone contacted him about it? Has anyone contacted 3 rivers about it? They are afterall 2 big names in the stickbow world, speak loud enough and they'll get it fixed! Heck they may just not know, though I doubt that is the case. Otherwise they'll keep making the product as so, and you'll keep being unhappy!
