A&R Sports Junior Hockey Stick Wooden Butt End, 8"

Arrived on time. It was easy to install with the heat gun. We didn't have any issues. Seems solid. Came as advertised.

This is a great product. Inserted easily with a little hard pushing. I used it for my 12-yr old in his Bauer Nexus stick when he went through a bit of a growth spurt. Parents, you spend a lot on composite sticks, there is no need to buy a new stick or a composite plug when this one works fine.It’s possible to painstakingly grind and sand this item to match your stick perfectly. I didn’t sand it at all and it works great. Any slight difference in shape of this item can be hidden underneath one of those 1-piece prefab butt end grips or it can be hidden underneath a good butt end taped handle. It has stayed tight and secure for the past few months - if your kid could shoot 105mph slap shots I’d worry but for simple rec or even club at 13U or equivalent it works fine. It’ll give you another year on that stick and saving $$ helps

Does not fit in jr stick without a Lot of grinding work

I bought two to extend the Easton Stealth C7 and Easton Synergy junior sticks for my kids. Both sticks has the same size of shaft. The two junior extensions were not the same size. One fit perfectly and the other was too loose. The handle part was correct size, but the insert part was cut out too much. I added a bunch of glue to secure it from wiggling. I will update the review if there is any problem. This is how I did it:- Cut the handle to proper length and sand it to a custom handle.- Apply polyurethane to waterproof the handle. See picture.- Remove the stick plug and use a wet towel to clean the powder inside the shaft for better adhesion.- With a glue gun, adding glue inside the stick shaft and add addition glue on the extension.- Use heat gun to melt the glue in the stick shaft and extension.- Insert the extension, wipe off the glue and tape it.Or you can just use a heat gun or even a hair dryer to melt the glue and stick it in. If it came loose or wiggle, heat it up to remove it, then add more glue and insert it in again. I miss the time I was making extension out a spare birch wood for my hockey stick in high school woodshop.

This product works great. Very easy to heat up the glue and extend a junior stick. I thought I would feel a weird type of flex with the wooden extension, but you cannot tell the difference. Especially good if you have some junior sticks and want to stretch their life for ice hockey, or great for deck hockey if you’re an adult and just enjoy a lighter stick. Saved me some bucks AND is REUSABLE!

I added this to a Junior Bauer Nexus 40 flex stick after my son grew 3 inches since March. I heated the glue and needed a mallot to bang the extension into the shaft. I will come back and change the review if there are issues with him using the stick now. I don't see how there will be as it was a very tight fit and I flexed the stick holding the end.

You will need a heat gun to warm up the glue.Pros: cheap, easy to install, works well.Cons: the stick is not as ballanced, rubber buttends or lizardskin will add more width.

I bought the 8" Junior butt end. Heated up the glue using a hairdryer (took ~2 minutes), fit it on and ran outside to a concrete surface in order to bang it into place. No flex, no big gap, and is barely noticable after getting it taped up. I bought this intermediate stick for practice indoors, and now wanted to use it on the ice. Great way to extend it for proper length on skates.
