How much is too much?

[JedimasterKyle]

I dented and bent my dB803 yet again in winter ball. I just got it back 2 weeks ago and am very disappointed in this shaft. My questions to you are these, How much of a bend affects your throwing? How much of a bend will get you a new shaft?

EDIT: I e-mailed Gait about the warranty a few weeks ago and they have not e-mailed me back yet. I asked them if they honored the warranty for as many shafts as I break in a years time. I even checked the warranty thread on here and it didn't help.

How big is the bend? Pics?

im pretty sure almost any bend will affect your throwing

Sadly I don't have a USB cord for the camera, but its only a couple of degrees. my last one was like 15 degrees.

See if the warranty will cover it. If not, you might have to either deal with it or bend it back.

Isn't a bend of any degree covered in the warranty? I thought that if anything happened to it in under 1 year they had to fix/replace it. That sucks man, I would look into getting a Liquidmetal or something since you like the dB803 so much, just not the breaking part. The Liquidmetal is a lot stronger at the same weight.

Im almost certain any bend is covered. And if they say know, then just break it yourself.

You might get in trouble with the ref's if they think it is bent for some kind of purpose.

actually, dont worry...i had my titan pro dented in two places and they slightly(very slightly) bent it. I was pretty POed and i was talking to my summer league coach about it and he said not to worry about it and b/c im a stick spinner, it will make the stick stop with the head up(like a flip grip) and i just covered the dents with some tape (surpisingly they were in the same places as a harrow stripe(minus the bottom one) and i like it more than ever
