The area near the bottom of the shaft where the width of the shaft decreases as it gets closer to the blade.
the curve from the shaft to the tip of the blade

By applying heat to the shaft at the end of the stick where the wood is to be removed.
On the hockey stick, you have the shaft (the part you hold), and the blade (the part that touches the ice). In the blade, you have the Heel, which is the part connected to the shaft. Then you have the toe, which is the tip of the blade, or the end which does not connect to the shaft.

the reebok o stick is semi hollow so to say. from about a inch above the "o's" or holes inthe stick there is black foam in the shaft and blade for support and strength. from there up the stick is hollow for the rest of the shaft. the reason behind the holes in the shaft of the stick is for weight savings and strength. if you look closely at the holes they are not perfectly round they are oval and that is for strength as an arch displase stress better.
