Filing down stick blade

Recommended Posts

What do you know about filing down a stick blade? I am currently using the Bauer One Pro P14 curve. I have the same in Warrior blades, but the toe is different. This is a carbon blade.. will it be ok to file it down and shape it by taking about 10mm off? I want to do it, but don't want to ruin the blade. Please advise.

This is the blade I have and want to file down:

Just took my Mako to the sanding wheel. I loved the stick but couldn't deal with the square toe.

I grazed the core in one tiny spot but everywhere else was solid. How bad did I compromise the integrity of the blade?

It was either sand the blade or get rid of the stick.

If you've actually exposed the foam core in one spot, and got close to the core around it, the blade will probably break down fairly quickly. The carbon fibre walls on blades are very thin (generally similar in thickness to the walls of the shaft), if you try to significantly change the shape of the blade you'll quickly go right through it.
