Cutting blade off wood stick

[Nigel 0]

I know this sounds like a weird question and people would be wondering why the hell I would want to do this but it's basically out of curiousity and an experiment I'd like to try. Anyways, has anyone ever tried cutting the blade off a normal wood stick and using it in a standard shaft? Obviously you would have to shave down the handle so it would fit inside the shaft and then glue it in. What type of glue would you use as well? thanks.

So are you gonna cut a hole in a wood stick and put a blade in it. If so it seems like more trouble than its worth. If u actually got it done the blade would snap out in a matter of seconds.

He means the other way around.

Edit: A bunch of people posted before I had a chance to submit. :P

I know a guy around here who does that, he's just cheap.

:lol:, no, the other way around. Inserting the wood blade from the stick into a composite shaft.

O crap. I misinterpurated that big time. But since a wood stick is around $25 and a wood blade is around $25 so i don't see the point then unless you have a wood stick that you love the pattern on it and can't find it in a blade.

Yeah, just want to try it out of curiousity. Anywho, what type of glue is recommended to use?

Or you have a bunch of broken sticks with good blades.

or the shaft broke from a hard slash like on the first time use

You can buy glue stick made for hockey . Those would probably work good.

I've done it before. It's not really that hard it just takes awile to shave it down. But I just used hot glue and it worked fine.

Buy some glue sticks at your local craft store.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try it sometime next week.

Btw, isn't it amazing of the amount of time it takes for a reply? I love it. :)

ive tryed alot of times, just make it a little smaller to fit in the shaft! I use them when i play streethockey sometimes!

I broke a easton z-carb stick in half so I tried this too. It didn't work, but the only reason I suspect it was unsuccessful was the crappy wood on the inside of the fiberglass on the z-carbs.

I do that for road hockey. I takes a while to do it by yourself but I got my dad to do it at work, and they work perfect.

I did it with my torn up synergy blade then put it in some sherwood shaft for road hockey. :)

I've tried to do it with several of my broken woodies. Unless the core of the wooden shaft is very strong it dosn't work because the tenon will just snap during a shot; i.e. it dosn't work for wooden shafts that are re-enforced with graphite or fibreglass becuase the core is very weak.

You're talking about the wodden blade you cut off right?

[kovalchuk71 212]

hes saying like a z-carbon stick. i have tried. its too weak. the tenon breaks

Ah. I have a Jofa wood stick with an ABS blade. Any one think it would work?

That is correct.

Nigel, I don't see why not. As long as it's not a wood stick you really like I would just give it a shot.
