I bought a Sherwood 5030 woody F St.louis curve which is too straight... i thought i was getting the sharp Coffey curve but didn't look carefully.

Needless to say i have not been using this stick at all for a year now, i talked to a teamate and he said to boil water and dip the stick blade in then curve with hands and reapeat process...I

'm looking at curving it to a Coffey curve or the 1-Peice Vector J.Thorton curve i have on my more expensive stick.

Does this work ? a friend of mine once heat gunned and destroyed his wood stick! hah...

yes, you need a heat and lots of it. Like a Blow Torch.

So are you saying don't dip it in boiling water or yes, use a heat gun i can do my dad has one in the garage. WHat are things to look out for? more detail please.

Boiling water? No.

Use a heat gun, or a blow torch. Don't hold it too close or you'll burn the stick, and it'll snap when you use it.

****, it's been over a decade since I last did it. From what I remember, put the flame in the middle of the blade to soften it and bend the tip of the blade.

Thanks boy's i pray this will work..

if you want an accurate blade curve buy a ProCurve from epuck.com and heat up the blade and use that sucker. Remember though, when you heat the blade, you weaken the blade by quite a bit.

what you should have done was buy a stick that had the curve you wanted instead od taking a chance on wasting 30-40 dollars cause you tried to do something you know nothing about just my opinion not trying to be rude.

**DrezzXIII** · 09-29-2006, 08:56 AM

Why not return it? Or have you used it already?

and do yourself a favor, try not to burn yourself.
