Just apply superglue, but must be sure that you put it back the same way, if not, it will be wierd if you play pushes.

Just shift the loose cone up, then apply it on the wood, then push the cone back.:D

Looks like the screw that is holding the shaft in the handle is loose or something. To find out what the probable cause is, take off all the grips off the handle and find whe screw hole where the shaft meets.

the screw is there not for structural reasons. it is there for safety.

the glue that glues the shaft and handle has weakened. you need to remove the screw, apply some epoxy glue into the handle where the shaft goes in. and then put the shaft back in. make sure you give it ample time to dry and set.

do not use superglue, they are brittle and not fit for this job.

see this thread for more example:

The cone may be loose so there is no glue connecting the cone and wood or the wood has cracked.

stick a double side into the hole... then press it with anything sharp... hopefully the tape would 'glue' the screw out....

thanks for that i have managed to dig the screw out. But the thing is that the cone doesnt come off. So is it possible to squeeze some epoxy glue down where the shaft goes and wipe off any exess??
