is there a difference in right or left helical?
I was shooting gold tip hunter 5575, fletched right offset, paper tuned them with ease and i was getting 3 inch groupes at 40 yards. It goes down hill from here, bought my self a doz. of xx75, 2215 but there fletched left offset, i got good fletching clearence but i can`t paper tune them, I keep getting high right tears.
I shoot right hand, single cam, 63 lbs, arrows are 27 inch 100 gr.

You shouldn' t be having a tuning problem going from right to left offset. Shouldn' t make any difference.
2215 is in the ballpark (' B' stiffness) for a 27" arrow off a hard cam 63 pound bow w/release so, even though it' s possible, I' m not too all fired ready to jump on spine as the problem. Just to be sure though, get hold of a 2216 and give that a try. If it tunes up then you know it' s spine.
What kind of rest are you using? Did you adjust the tension on the rest to compensate for the heavier arrow? If it' s a prong rest, did you adjust the prongs to fit the larger diameter?
One thing I very much dislike about GoldTip nocks is the tight double snap they put on the string. An XX75 nock is completely different, so your results could very well be showing the difference between the two styles of nock. But make sure the nocks on the XX75' s aren' t too tight.

Your right arthur nocks to tight on the xx75, I changed them and i`m getting a almost perfect bullet hole, but still getting a very very slight right tear, i`ll take your advice and get some 2216`s and try them. they sure beat the gold tips! I`m getting a 2 1/2 inch group out of 4 arrows at 35 yards. Thanks

faller, I too switched from gold tip 35555 to aluminum today. the gold tips and the 2213 both paper tuned bullet holes but the 2213' s shoot tighter groups and all three broadheads tested today flew perfectly. I will give up a little speed for accuracy and total confidence. Sticking with alumimun
