I just won the MSH-Tool of the Year award

[Sven 1]

So i was walking down in our basement to throw stuff in our washing mashine. I was bored so i walked into the room where my gear is. I checked if everything was dry and stuff and suddenly my AK27 got in my mind. At the moment i dont have a good blade so the stick was out of order, but i ordered a ZCarbon blade at my LHS so i checked the blade if it still was intact or if it was going into the dumpster when the new blade arrives cause the curve was nothing but fugly.

I flexed the stick to test the blade.. an unknown sound occured. I turned the shaft upside down and worked the blade with my hands. The blade was solid. So i flexed the stick again and BAM the shaft broke.

I felt and looked like a dork. I still feel like that. Okay, the shaft would have snapped at the next slapper on the ice, but damn, this is just a fvcked up feeling. :(

it's ok... i broke a stick in my living room a while back just flexing it... granted it was a 3-year-old sher-wood woodie, so it's not like it was worth anything, but i dont think it was already broken. i'm pretty sure i just broke the thing being a moron. cut it below the break and now it's a knee-hockey stick.

[BigDipper 0]

hahahaha.......I'm sorry....i did that a few times too in my day. Did you at least get the laundry done?

[Sven 1]

Haha, yeah, i did. Damn, so i ordered the ZCarbon for nothing.

I did that to my Mission Fuel 120 Pro stock just after re-taping it. It broke about 10" up from the hosel. My 4 year old son said to me..."Can you put a blade into it so I can use it?" Ah well...what can you do? The little guy is happy.

Been there, stupid feeling.

I'm pretty sure you ae not the biggest tool here; maybe just the biggest one to admit it. I'm sure we all are enjoying the laugh at your expense but you are not alone. Back in high school, before I had a brain, I was trying to be cool with my team mates in the LHS stick room and low and behold, i grab a stick and start flexing it and SNAP. Yeah, I was looking for a rock I could hide under. My friends mom ended up having to pay for the stick because my parents weren't there.

With that said, welcome to the 'I forgot my brain on my pillow when I woke up this morning' club.

How about when I was like in peewees my friend had just got a new Aluminum Cyclone and telling me how cool it was then I grabbed it and start flexing it, gave it back to him, thinking nothing and he was like "dude, you bent my brand new stick!" haha

The bright side of what you did, if you want to call it that, its better, in my mind, to break while NOT in a game - if you broke it in game, turned the puck over and got scored on you might feel a lot worse! haha

True....to a degree. If you broke it in a game though at least you would feel like your comrade fell to a worthy cause. ;)

Sven, I can think of penty of guys that are bigger tools that you are! On the bright side, you're a tool with swift socks. ;)

Done it to a Sherwood 9950 in Canadian tire. They didnt care so i didnt have to pay for it. But i still felt like an idiot. Also had a Nike wood stick i didnt even get to use. I was going to the outdoor rink, taped up the stick then tested the flex. BAM stick broke and i face planted into the floor. I didnt flex it to much but i figured the wood must have been really dry for it to break that easy. Needless to say i didnt go to the outdoor rink that night. :(

that's fantastically embarassing! good one.

[TBLfan 25]

moral of the story, stop flexing sticks.

[heatley015 0]

I'm not gonna lie, I broke three sticks like that.

yeah but you could have thrown some tape on it and put some puck marks on it and chip the paint in and send it in for a warranty replacement.

Did that to my brother's stick. Brand new KOHO woodie back in the day, and he was excited after he first got. Told me to check out the flex, and how much he couldn't wait to try it. So I flexed it and SNAP! He was pissed! :lol:

Last year in beer league I came out of the pisser just in time to see my buddy snap my Vapor XX by flexing it in the locker room. He bought me a new one. :D

[fatwabbit 93]

happened to me too... I was using a new woodie, and felt it gave a little too much flex. Told the wife to look at me flexing the stick, and crack! the shaft snapped down the middle, with me almost falling over.

Say No to Warranty Fraud.

One of the kids I work with at the local pro shop did that. Testing the flex of a jr wood stick. Full-on one foot snapper pose than CRACK, faceplant right into the stick rack. The owner laughed so hard he didnt even make the kid take it out of his pay.

When the Z-bubbles first came out this guy on my team was showing it off in the locker room loving how much flex the 85 gave him. When it snapped he fell hard but sadly, he missed the benches. Brand spankin new by the way.

[Abbieshockey20 1]

I have never broken a stick like this before, but have seen it happen a few times to other people at the rink. One guy on our team got a brand new synergy when they first came out, so his friend was fooling around with it at the rink (his friend was a lot bigger than him) and he decided to flex and of course he broke it. He bought the guy a new one though.

Little off-topic, but my 100 flex Z Bubbles used to break a lot just from use... I used to love that shaft though!

I had an aluminum stick in my dorm room 2 years ago that was really old. I had it for outdoor hockey and brought it up to college as a beater stick (get the light switch from the loft, shoot random things down the hall, etc).

I was in my chair just kinda sitting in my desk chair with the stick in my hand, I shot a hard candy or a ball of socks or something across the hall, and the stick literally bent 90 degrees, folded with a big pinch in the middle.

I felt like a fool. I blame fatigue and not being a flex-fiend though.

:lol: thats the funniest when that happens

I haven't broke a stick flexing it on the ground. I've seen it happen, so I don't flex them on the ground B)
