If you have a wooden one piece stick you throw it away. If it is a stick with replaceable blades you use a blowtorch or even the element on your stove. I've even used a lighter when I've broken a blade playing and a blowtorch wasn't available. Heat the shaft evenly on all sides where the blade inserts and heat aprox. 4 inches up the shaft until the glue starts to melt and bubble out the bottom of the shaft then pull it out.Then melt the glue on the replacement blade by heating it , then stick it in.

You need better bearings.  ABEC rates there skate (roller-hockey) bearings from 1-9, 1 being the worst, 9 being the best. As far as I have seen, RB and SB bearings are the same size, I could be wrong though.\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, the more expensive, the better.\n\nIn other words, you're not gonna find them at Dick's or Wal-Mart, so the price will be genuine.\n\nGo to a hockey store and ask the guy working there.  Chance are he's not gonna be the shlub you'll find at Dick's durin the holiday season, he'll actually know what he's talking about.\n\nEither that or..... google it.... shhhhhhhhh..... you'll find what you need.

Actually there is a tool designed just for that purpose (although the screwdriver will work) and is easy on the hands (unlike the screwdriver). You can find it at any clubmaking website for around $12 dollars. The removal tool alone won't do anything. Gotta have the solvent too.\n\nAnother method is using a special syringe with grip solvent as mentioned earlier. This method is somewhat dangerous so be careful or you'll inject grip solvent into you hand or arm or other part of your body. It can kill you. \n\nA method rarely mentioned to remove/reuse golf grips is to use compressed air. Wrap the grip in a towel (so the grip doesn't pop like a balloon) and force air into the little hole at the butt end of the grip. It takes a little practice, but it works great. After a few burst of air the grip will slide right off. The only problem is you need an air compressor, hose, nozzle, etc.\n\nAll of this applies to steel shafts. Don't go messing around with composite shafts. They scratch too easily.\n\nThe best thing to do is just cut the grip off (with a box cutter razor) and install a new grip. Anyway, grips are too inexpensive to try and save. Never try to save an old, worn grip. They're already dead. Cut it off and get a new one.

Sorry, but that's just the nature of the beast.  If you're taking slappers a lot, you going to break sticks a lot.  If you refuse to use a one piece carbon outside, then try a second-hand stick.  In my town we have several "Play It Again Sports" and a couple "Second Skate".  Something like this is probably your best bet.  You'll find plenty of mid-grade sticks - mostly wood, some aluminum, a few carbon.  The PIAS by my house gets about 3-5 one-piece sticks per month.  They generally go for about 60% of their original price.\n\nBut I think your biggest challenge with a used stick is finding one with a Shanahan blade.  There aren't too many players out there that like the "S" shaped curve and high lie.  Maybe stick with an aluminum shaft and replace the Shanahan blades when you need to.\n\nIf all else fails, Easton makes an entry level one-piece called "Easton One".  The intermediate runs about $75.  If you like getting your stuff online, try http://www.icewarehouse.com/  They always seem to have decent prices.

You can reshape wood and plastic blades by heating them (torch or propane heater) and then placing them in a vice and holding it to the desired shape for a minute or two.\n\nHowever, you cannot reshape fiberglass or carbon composite blades.  These contain an epoxy resin that, when heated improperly, will deform and fail.  Only a good skate & stick shop or equipment manager should handle these.

Go to thejavelinman.com and he has a lot of info about rebuilding javelins and grips.  Everyone I know that needed to get their jav redone went to him.  Hope that helps.

I would recommend visiting a sports equipment store. They should either sell roller blade trainers, or be able to tell you where to buy them.

Take it to your local ice skating rink, and have the people that sharpen the skates sharpen the rust off of them

Remove the "but cap" and trim back the handle to expose the blank and cut it with a hack saw or fine tooth saw so as not to crack the blank. You can go to WWW.mudhole.com they sell fishing rod blanks and stuff to make and build rod

My suggestion is go cheap on the other gear but don't go too low on price on the head of the stick.  It's very important.  I've been playing for years and would have to say I could look like a beginner if I had the wrong stick in my hand.   On the other hand, if you have a good stick that is done right and throws right you'll like a lot better to start!\n\nBasically, don't just buy one pre-strung and try to make it work.  Find a veteran player willing to string it up for you (or a small store nearby that offers the service) and it will make a world of difference for you.\n\nI use a proton + with a mesh pocket that's a mix between hard and soft.  The mesh separate is only $10 and you could use hockey laces to string up the sidewalls (won't break like the string you would normally use) or buy a separate stringing kit.   \n\nBy not going cheap on the stick you'll end up enjoying the sport more and in the long run you'll be much happier.  Keep in mind that if you buy a titanium shaft (or another type of shaft as strong) it could last for years and it will give better results because it's lighter than the less expensive and easily breakable aluminum shaft.  \n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you have trouble finding the right mesh or have any other questions. \n\nGood luck and you found the best sport there is!
