Hey guys i have an ice long stick and it just bent a couple days ago, and i was wondering if there is any way to bend it back or will i just have to get used to it.

There really isn't a way to bend it back since it will weaken the overall strength of the shaft. Ever bent a paper clip back and forth? Same principle really. Depending on the severity of the bend you could still use it. If the bend is really bad, you can always cut it in half and make the most of two A/M length shafts.

like he said, try and get either a goalie shafty or a/m shaft. with the other bent parts, try and make a pocket pounder

my first dpole was an stx aluminum shaft and i bent it into the shape of an L. (a 90degree angle) im not joking either. so my brother and i decided to cut it into two shafts its nice. ps the pocketpounder idea is good too, my friends and i did that at million with an aluminum shaft we broke.

or if you can just keep checking a tree or metal pole untill it breaks. if you still have warranty and get a new one
