You could cut it off if it is a D stick. If you ahave an A/M stick, youre screwed, i gess.

Jow long is the shaft and how far up is it bent. Maybe if its just the bottom 2 inches you could cut it off. That would be your bset bet. I think if you benth the shatft back to normal it would become weak. Sorta like when you keep bending a paper clip. It will get brittle an break.

Post some pics. You can try slamming it against something hard to bend it back. Or cut if off if it really is at the bottom.

i bent mine a lot at camp in the summer, so i gave it to my dad and he used a car press to straighten it, but it wount be as strong as it used to be.
Or maybey you could cut it and weld it?

looking at the pics i can say that you might not need a car press, but it would work if you know any one that has acces to one at like a tech school or something

If you school has a manufaturing technology or any other technology area in your school, you can see if they have a blowtorch. You can use that to heat up the shaft and then hammer it until it is straight. You can try that. *Please do not blame me if anything happens to the shaft. This is a suggestion.*

Put your head on that end you'll ahve the sickest offset.

Yeah, like flip it so it curves downwards and you have an offset shaft. That's how the gait brothers used to do it before offset heads.

Don't try to unbend it unless you really know what you're doing.

...I made that mistake.

once its bent, you can try to bend it back, but it will either snap or bend right back again and be really weak. i dont know why your worried though since you have a nice new diamond sitting right beside it.

When I would bend my d pole, I would just put it over my knee and see how far I can get it back to. But that would be during a game, but if I had a choice I would prob. try and get a new one.

I have this same problem, but with a ski pole. My friends told me to bend it back, but some people tell me it will break the pole. I haven't exactly told my Dad yet...
