I got this kick ass Bauer Total one... I know it is an older stick but my friend Ben hooked me up on the clearance rack and sent it my way... the stick is the lightest stick have ever had...like I mean ever... I could never afford a stick like this so I am super grateful for this transaction... Anyways the stick was already cut down... my friend Ben isn't as tall as I am... I am 6'0 and needed to add a bit to the length of the stick.. no issue at all.. I had a wooden extension laying around and this video shows you how to install it... hope it helps

REMOVE THE BUT PLUG HAHAHA
=)
Thank you so much for this!! You saved me about $150 cuz I’m 6’6 and just adding extensions to my sticks instead of special ordering new sticks was so much easier!!
awesome man! always happy to help a fellow hockey player out!
Hahaha same here I have a pro stock but they are so expensive just wondering if these work well
"Butt plug"😂😂 seriously though nice video though, helped me out alot
=)
Does that glue usually hold up for you? My extension didn't want to stay until I added a bunch of gorilla glue and now it's solid.
Hey man, awesome video! I noticed that on the inlinewarehouse sight they say that if adding an extension to a vapour or supreme stick get a rounded corner extension. However I live in New zealand and can only get the original square end extension. Will it make a difference? I have a Total One Nxg, thanks!
the extension I used was a wooden one and it had rounded edges... if you get a wooden extension... you could always round off the edges with some sand paper... let me know if that helps... thanks for the compliment on the video --- Brent
Advice on how to remove this? I’ve tried a blow dryer. Do u know how long it would take to melt the glue enough so I could pull it out?
if i’m trying to extend a junior stick, do i have to buy a junior size extender, or would a “senior” size be fine?
Thanks for the video, worked like a charm even with a hair dryer!
awesome I love to hear it worked great for ya! Thanks for letting me know... I love great feed back! Have a great one and go snipe some! -- Brent
I'm 6 foot 3, and I prefer a bit longer of a twig. This video helped me!
awesome man stoked to hear it helped!
Again another great how to video.
again thanks for the share my friend!
I just bought an APX2 and being overly exuberant when it finally arrived in the mail I cut it down a bit shorter than I would like, although I do hope I can adjust to the length by using deeper knee bend. Just in case though I bought an APX2 extension plug that is 4" in length. I was wondering is it possible to cut down the extension plug as I really only need about an inch and a half to two inches (if I even go through with extending the stick), or would it be better to cut 2" more off my stick and then insert the new plug? Thanks.
yes you can totally cut down the plug no issues... they are made to be cut down after you install the plug... congrats on the apx2... it is an amazing stick... i love mine! --- Brent
Cool. Thanks for the quick response. Glad you mentioned to install the plug first. I probably would have tried to cut if before installing and lost my left hand haha
well it is also easy to measure it when it is installed as well as it is a lot easier to cut as well with it installed in the hockey stick... stay safe and most hockey shops will do this for you as well minimal charge --- Brent
What do you recommend for a 6’3 14 yr old 175 lbs forward. Like what flex I should have and if I should get my stick longer.
U should use a 65 using lower then half ur body weight increases shot power fosho, i use 50 flex and added extension so basically 40 flex and i weigh 134
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much
you are very welcome
Thanks for the video, doing my stick right now!
3 years later it still helps
awesome man stoked to hear! thanks for the comment and the kind words!
9 years later!
Are the intermediate shafts the same size of a senior?
no they are not... and you'll need to get an smaller sized one.. ask your local pro shop for help
How much you cut down the wood plug/how much of extension Did you left?
I cut it after I installed it for size. I like to have the stick under my chin with skates on or under my nose with skates off
Hi, I have a question, does the extension lower the flex on a stick?
Not much change at all. Not one you'll notice at least
thanks for the fast reply
you're welcome!
What kind of stick did you install the extension with
+Eric colmenares Bauer Surpreme Total one
How long did you let it dry before using ?
10 minutes... it sets up pretty fast! hope this helps -- Brent
That's cool I got a custom apx2 and I got it cut too short so I need to get an extention.
yeah it is super easy to do... and awesome you got an apx2.. they are sick... I hope you enjoy it!
0:53 you said that composite ones are lighter and better and then you said that wooden ones are just as light, I'm confused now
+Blur Icy a the composite ones might be an ounce or so less in weight. you don't really notice it at the top of the stick. sorry for the confusion and hope this helped
How do you get a piece of wood out of an existing shaft? Not sure how far down it goes when I cut it. Thanks.
what you will want to do is... drill a small hole... like a pre drilled hole... then get a long wood screw and drill it into the wood... don't screw the screw all the way in.. make sure it's like a long screw like 2 inches or more... and then put the screw half way sticking out and lock it in a vice grip if you have or you can even close a door a bit... if it has hot glue on it make sure you heat up the shaft a bit to warm to loosen the glue and then pull ... it should come right out... hope that helps
Uppercornerhockey that’s brilliant. Thanks!
@@dustinobrien47 you're welcome bro!
Nice video as usual!
awesome thanks for the compliment!
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. Ben is short in stature, but fat in generosity. I hope I'm lucky enough to find a Ben someday.
Ben's a great dude and good friend!
Well done man!
thanks kind sir!
does the extension change the feel of the stick, does it change the flex?
+Eric colmenares it is so high up on the stick it won't really matter much. i haven't noticed much of a difference. I don't have to add to many extensions though. i'm 6 foot even so most sticks are just right out of the box. i hope this helps
Ok thanks
I find most of the flex of the shaft happens with my right hand which is my lower hand. adding any extensions shouldn't effect the flex. well in my humble opinion
If I bought a extension would it work on a different brand stick
yes if it's an adult stick get the adult extension and junior get a junior extension. Hope that helps
How long does it need to dry?
10 minutes
Can you do this with a wood stick?
+Jason Najm no it will not work with a wood stick.. only composite or the old aluminum sticks
For me the hair dryer did not work, instead pre heat your barbecue with the cover down and then rotate your extension directly above the grills for a few mins in till the glue is nice and tacky. Works like a charm! 🏒
what's the rock cooking? hockey butt ends
Hey I tried putting an extension in my sick and it didn't fit so I don't know what to do
do you have an intermediate stick or senior stick? you have to get the right size extension for the right stick... it could be the issue... hope that helps and if not comment below --- Brent
Would you cut the extension if it is to big afterwards
+Anthony Sciarretto yes that is exactly what you would do. Hope this helps
+Uppercornerhockey thanks
+Uppercornerhockey if I put on an extension does it affect the flex like an 80 flex and by how much
most of your flex starts from the middle of your stick to the end of the hosel (where the blade starts at the heel) Even with sticks with the lowest of kick points in the shaft the stick flexes around your lower hand. So it won't effect the flex of the stick. it will make it weigh more though but not much pending on what insert you get. Hope this helps --- Brent
How durable are these?
very durable and they have them in plastic now to cut down weight
How can i remove it?
great job, it's helpful
Happy to hear it helps! Thanks for the comment and letting me know... happy to help! --- Brent
you are welcome
I'm getting two extensions for my nexus 6000 and my supreme 0ne 20 sticks I thanks for this video
awesome... i am glad i could help! nexus 600? or 6000? either way great stick... keep me posted on how it works out
Do you have any other advice on putting a extension on a stick cause having problems getting it in the shaft I ave a senior plug in internediate stick I heated the shaft and the plug it's still not going in at all
Taylor Carter
yeah you need to get an intermediate extension for it... intermediate shafts are sometimes more narrow than a senior stick..
Holy your buddy gave you an expensive ass stick lol good friend!
yeah he totally hooked me up! --- Brent
I didn't have a high temperature air blower, but I did have a an 1100 watt microwave oven (to heat the extension/glue) and toaster to heat the end of the stick, and a vise to hold the stick after it and the extension was heated....you know the rest that involves a hammer..
you're kidding right?
"Butt Plug" HA!
i laugh every time too
I noticed that he actually had it cut down to about 110 flex
Is the extension removeable???
+fishy yes... just heat it up again and pull the extension out. hope this video helped
+Uppercornerhockey yeh, super helpful, I am having trouble shooting with a smaller stick so this should help. Love your channel, keep it up :-)
awesome glad to hear it helped out and thanks for the compliment
thx
Or after you finish you can get a bucket of ice and dip it in there for a few seconds and peel it off with your hands.
I'd add a stick tape with the clue - to get the layers - clue, stick tape, clue (add more clue after adding a thin layer of stick tape)
Nice wood
Im 11 years old hockey player from finland and my hockey stick is too short for me. i have to get an extension but i dont know where can i get a extension that fits to my stick. help me please :(
what kind of stick? A hockey store will have what you need... and most end or butt end of the sticks are the same... if it is a Senior stick... hope that helps --- Brent
Its a junior stick.. but there is not many hockey stores in here finland, so i decided to order one from ebay. is that a good desicion?
yeah a junior stick is got a thinner shaft and will probably be to whipping for an adult to use... might want to see if you can sell it or buy a Senior stick... --- Brent
I see what i can do.. thanks for the help :)
I just re-read what you wrote... sorry been ill for the past two days and probably should of waited to respond to youtube questions or comments... I thought it read you been playing for 11 years... I just noticed now you are 11 years old... a junior stick should be fine for you.. and yes they make extensions for Junior sticks... if you are able to use a senior stick due to your height and weight.. the get a senior stick... i hope this helps and sorry for the confusion --- Brent
nice dude
thanks dude! keeping the puck rolling...
btw I wish ya'd come back to some hockey snipe videos... maybe just one over the holiday break?
I have a weird feeling that if I add a extension to my stick it would be all floppy, not stay in place properly and make it impossible to do anything with my stick... am I just imagining that or would that happen😅
the industrial strength hot glue keeps it in place... tape around it for some extra stability... i've had it come loose on me as well... just add more glue.... there is no other choice or buy a new stick! hope this helps
What is the internal dimensions of the intermediate shaft?
ua-cam.com/video/-RmLrzPVKSo/v-deo.htmlm27s
check that how too... due to the fact all shafts aren't the same. hope that helps
No point buying a new stick until I can actually play the game.
nice commentary bud
thanks man!
I laughed so hard when you said butt plug
=)
I’m 17 and 6 foot 5
yeah you'll need a tall stick these work well and they have them in plastic now to cut down weight
nice twig !
thanks... I can't wait to give it a go... my buddy Ben told me to give it my best to break it on a slap shot... so i'll really lay into it =)
I broke mine last year ... 1 month and 2 weeks so no warranty :(
that sucks... I have a three more times to use this and if I break it get a newer one... the flex is to stiff for me... so who knows what will happen... I like the nexus 87 but i'll still give this one a good work over
Good to see that the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
No. Butt plug works JUST fine, Brent. 😎😗😏😟😦😬😮😉
"Butt plug"... Classic
Comp-osit
