Synergy Problem

[Abbieshockey20 1]

Hi, I recently broke the blade on my synergy and it was not under warranty so I cut the blade off and was going to put another one in, but when I cut the blade off the stick was not hollow. I don't know if the older synergies were not supposed too be hollow or what. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

u cut too high

whats filling the inside?? theres no way its solid, it must be foam. some sticks have foam inside the whole shaft, bust most just have a foam plug at the ends. My friends Graf OPS had foam plugs. Get a file and shave it right out

I'm not sure if I did or not but, I'm positive I cut right on that bump out line. Are u supposed too cut a bit below that?

[Abbieshockey20 1]

No its not foam the stick is is filled with carbon or something hard on the inside. Also there's a plastic tube that runs through the whole thing connected too the sides.

break that out and put the tapered in their and ull be fine, and yes it is hollow. it goes hard stuff, little foam and hollow

Actually, you cut through the hosel of the blade. You need to cut a bit higher to get above it. Be careful that you don't cut to high or a tapered blade won't fit anymore.

That's the remainder of the tenon for the blade. Remember, the Synergy really just a fused low-connection stick. You need to get the remainder of the tenon out and you should have basically a Synthesis.

I'm not sure if I can tho because of the plastic tube, its attached too the walls of the stick

[Abbieshockey20 1]

I was going to do that but the thing is the shaft is already really short so if i cut higher the only way it will fit me is if half the stick is a butt end

It's not a plastic tube, it's the tenon of the blade. Imagine a "normal" shaft and blade. You just cut at the point you can see on the outside, yet the tenon is inserted into the shaft a couple of inches. Since the OPS is epoxied in place, you can't remove it. You have to cut above it.

Okay, thanks alot.

What worked for me is to drill a screw into the foam/carbon thing and then heat the shaft up around there and pull as hard as you can.

It should pop out, thats what worked for me!

I took your advice Chadd but when I cut up higher it didn't do anything the stick was still not hollow, It was quite a bit higher that i cut too. I just don't get this stick.

the hosels are about 2.5-3 inches long, exactly how far up did you cut?

[Abbieshockey20 1]

I don't know exactly how far it was but it was something around that lengnth.

hit it with a drill and see how much further you have to go till its hollow. just drill straight into the stuff thats inside the shaft

My response was like that too. I just chizeled enough of it out until I could fit a tapered woody in.

Take a picture, that may help us determine where you need to cut.
