I keep breaking my one piece composite sticks....?

Question

I have used synergy's, mission pulses, TPS responce, and i have broken every one about 7 inches up the blade right before the shaft
1. Is there a stick with a stronger blade
2. What is the possible reasons why the always break in the same place
3. Do you get more speed on a puck with more flex then with stiffer flex

Answer 1

Check the length of your sticks. If they are too long you might be getting to much ice on your shots. Also check what flex you use. The Stiffer the flex generally the harder it is to break. Most people will get more speed on the puck with more flex. As I said before the idea is to hit the ice before the puck so you stick flexs and builds energy to unleash on the puck. I am guessing your stick might be to long. A good length is to your nose without skates and to your chin on skates. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Deffinetly stick with the composites, it's really hard going to wooden stick after using composites, because they feel so much heavier. Get a stiffer shaft (unless you are already using 100 flex). Other than that, you can't do anything about it but change your shot, and you don't wanna do that. The size of your stick shouldn't matter, because if you buy a shorter stick youll just lean down more on your shot and end up hitting the same distance behind the puck. So just buy a stiffer shaft.

Well, here's an idea.

take a hacksaw and cut the blade off. If the blade is fused instead of molded, clean it out. then use that as a shaft for a two piece. If it is molded, flip it and use the old blade end as your handle. Use the other end for the blade once you take it off with a hacksaw. It will not have the same perfect flex as it used to- they are designed to flex more towards the end, but it'll work. Blade's aren't as expensive, and since you seen to be breaking that I would use the 2 piece. Also, converting broken composites is a lot cheaper then buying new ones.

Answer 4

Forget composite sticks. If you watch any NHL game they are constantly breaking. I would only use them if someone else was paying. Wood sticks will take a beating and last longer and the weight difference isn't that big of a deal for your average beer league competitor.
Stiffer flex is better for someone who is taking more slap shots (defense) but it won't really make a difference in how long the stick lasts. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 5

i used to only use synergy's but got tired of them breaking after 3 weeks use, I know started using the warrior one piece sticks and I have to say I have had the same 2 I bought 2 months ago and still havent broken not even cracked, and I play more than 4 times a week. I highly reccommend warrior and there lighter than eastons

Answer 6

1. Easton SuperToughs are decent sticks to use that won't break that easy...as well as the TPS armor and the TPS xn10
2. chances are that is where the kickpoint of ur stick is for ur shot to release
3. if ur a forward you would want to use a stick with less flex for quick release wrist shots...if your a defensmen you would want to use more flex so the stick becomes more durable

Answer 7

while it breaks in simple terms decrease it so its in simple terms a shaft than get a blade turn it over to the different facet warmth up the glue than positioned the blade in. if u dont comprehend a thank you to do it than bypass to your professional shop they are going to do it for u. and after a on a similar time as a stick will break while your shot get harder I even have broken a lot of sticks.

Answer 8

when you slap the puck your motion is too much on the low , you should try to push the puck more
