No, it wont work with the SRS because the shaft isnt flush anymore

thats too bad. I don't break too many sticks but the majority of sticks i break are at the kick point.

I had a stick repaired and the repair insert cracked after a couple of games. I have heard a lot of good stuff about SRS so I think I may of just had some bad luck.

Either they didnt set it properly or it didnt sit long enough. We havent had one returned to us yet.

I hope you brought t back to the shop as it has a warrantee.

Not true anymore, SRS can fix the entire stick now, even in the tapered area. I've done about a dozen in that area so far, results have been good.

Really? How do you go about fixing the taper area?

I didnt know it had a warrenty, but it was probablly past warrenty cause I only used it as a backup.

if it´s already postet - sorry, but i haven´t read the full thread...:

im going to buy a used pro stock stealth for about 45 USD.

the stick is played 2-3 times an it has a scratch on the blade.

how can i repair this? with armor-tape (don´t know if anyone of you knows about this...)

regards.

just a scratch? just use epoxy to seal it.

I had a stick repair done on my Synergy SL. (by far not the most durable)

Demon Extreme done my repair in Essex

Oh, it's simple. Cut away damaged area or if just a crack, sand off the paint around the break. If stick is in two pieces, use alignment clamp to get stick back into correct alignment. If damaged area was removed, use special carbon bondo-like filler to fill voids. Wait 6hrs. Sand level. Prepare two layers of carbon sleeve and mix with two-part epoxy. Place over break area and use compression clamp and compression tape to form carbon around shape of shaft. Wait 6hrs. Remove mold, sand and feather. It's a PITA but works great.

I understand the process as I have personally SRS fixed many sticks, but doesnt the area always come out unflush for you?
