    I have a Yonex Carbonex 8000 light racquet which is rotating at the joint where the shaft meets the handle(I am not sure what it is called but the top point of the cone).can anyone suggest me some way I can fix it so it does not rotate??
    P.S: I tried things like araldite and fevi qwik but it didn't work :(

    Shafts and handles are often held together by a combination of glue and pin. If you have access to a drill I suggest adding another pin beneath the grip. Remove all grips and check the pin. If necessary find yourself a long panel pin from a hardware shop, long enough to just go through the handle without coming out the other side but long enough to pass through the shaft. Drill a hole, about the same diameter or slightly smaller than the diameter of the pin. Insert pin with some additional 2 part epoxy. Use light taps with a hammer if you've drilled the hole smaller than the pin. If you do use one that is long enough to come out the other side then use a file to take off any protruding parts.
