changing a lie

[kovalchuk71 212]

is there anyway to change the lie on a stick? i use a 6.5 lie, and there is no OPS in that lie and they only have one in a 7. is there anything i can do?

Adjusting the height of the stick could sort of manipluate it in a way, but pretty much no.

custom blade?

Not a custom blade, he's looking for an OPS. Anyway, I don't think .5 in lie is much different.

If I remember correctly, each full lie is 2.0 degrees so a .5 change in lie is a full degree. I have major problems with a 5.5 but a 5 is useable for me.

This site does have a good explanation.

anyway to do this without spending 19.95 :o :o

great idea tho (the lie detector) anyone have one.

It should be cheaper, i man your only gonna use it once or twice

[Chadd 916]

Lay your stick on a piece of paper, trace a line down the shaft and using a straight edge draw a straight line along the center of the rocker of the blade, until it intersects. Then buy a 50 cent protractor at Staples and measure it.

thats how much blade isnt on the ground. what do u think would be the right lie?

[Guest 2048]

something lower. if that's a 6.5, a 6 or even a 5.5.

Edit: keep in mind, it's kind of hard to tell without knowing what you're wearing out b/c we can't know if that's how you hold it on ice.

[kovalchuk71 212]

my bad thats a 7.

i usually wear it near the upper mid- toe area

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Make your stick longer. Or bend your knees.

[Buzz_LightBeer 963]

if you wear the toe, use a 1-1.5" longer sick, if you use it like the picture shows, get a lower lie, or cut the stick shorter. if that blade is a PL71 copy like thwy say it is, its reallya 5.5 lie. peca is not even close to a 7

[kovalchuk71 212]

its a hatcher l-2 blade is whats in my pic. it says it has a 7 lie.

[Chadd 916]

The way your stick is in that pic is not how it should be to measure it. the center of the blade should be flat on the ground, not the heel. If you're wearing out the mid toe on that you either need an absurdly high lie or your stick is far too short.

Really? I had a pronger which is suppose to be a 6, and now i have a peca which is suppose to be a 7 and I found my stickhandling got a bit crappier. I cut both sticks to my chin. I plan on going back to a 6 lie.

[kovalchuk71 212]

well chadd, with the 5 lie i was doing that, but with the 7 lie i haver been wearing it more towards the lower mid heel of the blade.
