Here are two videos of me shooting with repaired sticks. The X:60 LE was with the SRS system and the Kane X:60 (Total One with X:60 graphics) was using Stick Fix (Thanks Stick Fix Texas South)






I apologise for what looks like weak shots, I had just finished shooting around 300 pucks and was reaching the end of my day.

But I'm actually around 20 feet away from the net.

ok

[Grizzly]

So you had a LH Kane stick switched to a righty?

[underworldeagle]

[Rconfer11]

300 pucks?! what level of hockey do you play man?

[thinkingjack]

how much does it cost

There is another company called integral hockey that has locations all throughout Canada and they charge $65 plus tax and shipping for either a shaft or blade repair.

I use Stick Fix Texas South.


I've recently actually shot somewhere around 600-700 pucks in one session, was tiring towards the ends, but I've been losing weight as a result and great for side abs.

I also hit the gym of course.

Ya, my repair guy basically used the lower part of another stick to my preference.

Turned out great, you couldn't tell it had been two different pieces when you shoot.

Purchased a 75 flex 11k prostock through stick fix texas and its held up like a dream. Just tonight battling in the corner, had a guy tommohawk chop right where it was fixed. Looked down expecting to see stick snapped in 2, but nothing at all. Very happy.

For those curious how repaired sticks look like up close:


A repaired blade:




A repaired shaft:




Graphite is used in the repairs, I don't notice any additional weight, and feels as solid as a one piece construction.

I have taken some hard slappers with these sticks, and I actually trust these better than new sticks.

600 to 700?!?

I have around 120 pucks I collect in a bucket when I shoot. When I finish shooting them all I pick them all back into the bucket and dump them back for shooting. I did that 5 times plus the initial 120 to start with. That's 720 shots. Takes around 2 hrs or so.

I know it sounds crazy, but isn't that hard to do when all you have is free time.

For my shooting pad I buy marker board (found at Lowes for $11), have them cut it into thirds since its a long piece. I spray silicone and wipe it down, becomes smooth as ice. Each board last around 1200-2200 shots. Depending if you're doing wristers or slappers.

When I'm done I wash the pucks and have them sit overnight in a mixture of water and soap. Since I'm shooting on a long drive way dirt can get on them so it works out great.

Must be a big ol' bucket lol you must have some pretty gnarly calluses from shooting so much

[HockeySavants]

there are days when I can't even close my fist lol

Can anyone recommend a place for me to get a stick repaired?  I have a Warrior Covert DT1 that the blade broke on.  It's a big crack going up the face of the blade.  Hasn't snapped off on the back side yet, so it's still attached.   This is my favorite stick, and I'd love to get it repaired!!

 

I live in Massachusetts, and there's nothing locally that I can find...

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

+1 for integral hockey. I work for them and i would advise you using our repair as we are hollow inside and we inly add 8 grams to the weight of the stick and flexing like it was new again. SRS system is somekind of plug with a hole lot of resine and add 50 grams. I used bought system and thats why im working and pushing integral hockey repair. Im in gatineau/ottawa area in canada but look it up on the internet for your nearest repair shop. We have a 30 day warranty in our repair.

[NovaHands]

Thanks!  I just spoke with one of their guys on the phone today.  Really nice and helpful.  I'm going to be shipping my stick down.  Will post my results when I get it back and test it!

[Steelnation248]

Are you shipping your stick to Canada Nova? I know there's a few places around here in Michigan that charge around $40, last I checked. Also, Thom on this site (or stickfixtexas on eBay) does it too. Not sure of his rate though.

[NovaHands]

I actually spoke directly with Thom.  Super nice guy.  I'm shipping the stick to him in Texas.  He even gave me pointers on how to ship it to him at the lowest cost possible.  Can't wait to see if he can resurrect my favorite stick!
