I had the exact same experience with the Trophy Taker heads. They still flew great but the ferrule was so cheap and flimsy that it would bend on any miss. Then the blade wouldn't want to remove, etc. Also had problems with the blades ruining shafts (hit with collar) on hard impacts..Have used Shuttle T's for years, always had good results with them, and one of the best fixed flying heads I have shot.
Although after Trophy Taker was sold, their quality just does not seem the same? Bought a few heads a couple years ago, and none of them spin true, where all my old original Shuttle T's do. Maybe I just got some knock offs, but haven't heard much good about Trophy taker quality after selling out.
With that, I opted to switch to the QAD Exodus, but can honestly say I like the original Shuttle T's better than the QAD. At least to me the Shuttles are more forgiving at long range as compared to QAD Eodus Full version. If I could get the same quality with Trophy Taker Suttles I got years ago, I'd definitley go back to them.
These B3 Destrukt are on my list to try.
