How can I improve the performance of my hockey equipment?
More Whip and Flex
If you shave down your blade, you can get more whip and flex. Also, when shaved down, the toe of the blade helps you feel the puck better. To shave the bottom of the blade down to get more whip, you need a sander. Sand down the bottom, or if you like, lay the blade down and shave the top of it. This will make the blade shaped at an angle.
