You don't. No mater what you do, you will weaken the structural integrity of the stick.

An electric oven could work, preheat it to about 200 degrees, stick your stick in there for a minute or so and that should work. A hair dryer would work as well, or you could just buy a heat gun. A two temp one costs about 15-20 bucks, and you'd have it for installing the new one and future uses too. And the Easton Stealth S5 is a very similar shaft if you ever want another. Octane, right? Green shaft, comes with wood blade? Oh, and you will not need to buy extra glue unless you need to change the blade. The Glue that comes on the blade will spread out and get lost, so If you need to take it out and put it in multiple times more would be wise. It's just normal hot glue, so you can melt it on with a heat gun or have a hot glue gun.

You're better off getting a two-piece composite stick and then find the blade you like.

Guys on my team have said use an electric stove heat it up very slowly and curve it by hand little by little. They all say it takes a long time cause of how careful you have to be not to overheat it. I use wood but hope they're right!

You can heat it with a heat gun, but be careful not to over heat. I do it to my son's sticks all the time.
