With some work you can get almost any broadhead to fly well, but you have to start out with the basics. That means having an arrow that is properly spined stiff enough for the length and bow weight. Type of cam enters into it, too. With any given draw weight and length a more aggressive cam will require a stiffer arrow.

Then you have to install the broadheads and spin test them to ensure the heads are aligned properly with the shaft. It's not always a mstter of what broadhead you use, but paying attention to all the little details to get one to fly. Some are more finicky than others. These will usually be those with larger blades. IMO the smaller the surface area of the blades the better.
