Pro Shops Can Restore Broken Hockey Stick Blades T he SRS® External Blade Repair System, manufactured by Edgewater Industries, is being used around the world to restore composite hockey sticks. The SRS® system enables pro shop professionals to fix damaged toes, crushed heels, impact fractures, and blades that have been completely broken in two. SRS® blade repairs are created using both the DuraBuild™ Reconstruction Process and ExoFlex™ Composite Technology. The DuraBuild™ process restores the proper blade curve, lie, and shape. Once this is achieved, the area is protected with ExoFlex™ composite armor, which is formed under compression using carbon fiber and a specialized epoxy system. The final SRS® blade repair closely matches the original blade, so it is virtually undetectable. Since it's been engineered for maximum durability, a restored hockey stick can withstand play at the professional level. For more information, log on to www.srshockey.com.
