Until it is flexible enough for reshaping, it is also a bad idea to do this yourself, you should go to a professional.I have never put a stick in boiling water to curve it before. The way I used to do it was to either hold the blade of the stick over the burner on the stove or heat it up with a blow torch. After it is good and hot curve it however you want it. Just don't get caught with too big of a curve or you might end up in the box for 2 minutes.

Boiling a stick will not do much, you need direct heat, on the blade, usually with a propane blow trorch. I simply look for a stick with as much curve as I like and buy it.

Having "too much curve" makes it harder to receive a pass, or to shoot a backhand shot. The puck will just dribble off the end of the blade.

All good points. However they only apply to a wooden blade. You cannot reshape a carbon fiber blade without significantly weakening it or completely ruining it. As said, there are a lot of different curve patterns to choose from these days, so I suggest trying out a few of your buddies' sticks to see what pattern you like, and simply buy it.

correction..........u can curve a full fibre glass hockey stick....i have alot of them and ive dun it before and it makes a sweet curve.....so dont listen to whoever wrote that bull
