Default Issue with my broadheads?

I have the crimson talons called Hyperspeed XT.I know they are suppost to make the arrow spin but my arrow flies all messed up. The broadheads make the arrow do a lop de lop type flying pattern. Its hard to explain but i think you can get the idea.I just want to know if there is any way to fix this. Thanks for your time.

Are your arrows aluminum, carbon, or what?
Assuming this does not happen with other BH's or FP's?

Then you will have to retune with the new heads.

You might even have to put longer fletchings on the help stabilize the arrow.

IMHO those heads are nothing more than a gimmick with a lot of advertising BS thrown in

the other thing is how fast are you shooting. your gonna need some force to get the correct flight out of these heads.

With most crimson talons, one ought to shoot straight fletched, not offset or helical. Do you know what yours is?

Arrows are more stable in flight with an adequate FOC and guided from the rear with adequate fletching.

Advertising hype IMHO! I have never been impressed with any of those types of Broadheads.
