Curving a composite stick blade

[SarichFan]

Can it be done?

I wouldn't recommend it unless you've got a lot of practice/money to do it. They're so easy to screw up. That blade will go from not bending at all to being on fire in no time at all. If you really, really want to try it, I'd recommend going and picking up one of those Z-Carbon blades and try doing it on that before you jump right to the 200 dollar stick. I personally have always had trouble trying to curve sticks, be it wood or composite. It takes a bunch of tries to get it right. Generally you might get the curve you want, but then the openness of your blade is all screwed. So...no, I wouldn't do it.

I just have a $79 Synergy..

I may just try it on a wooden blade..

You can't curve a composite blade without seriously compromising its integrity. The resins that hold the carbon fibre aren't heat activated. They are chemically set and by overheating them they can be cooked and become weaker. Your alternate choice is to find a stick with a curve you like.
