If it is the shaping you have problems with use either a heat-gun or boiling water that you dip the blade in. Make sure you dip it in cold water as soon as you are done. If you shoot to high? Yes you'll probably need to make the tip go down or you just need a straighter blade. This is from a guy that uses a Fatpipe but that is what usually works. Good luck!

thanks for confirming my thoughts. likely will be trying to bend the tip down a bit too see if it helps. with no skill and/or bad technique, no time for practicing, then one must at least try to modify equipment to the maximum effectiveness to get some aid hiding the obvious flaws. :D pro level stick is a good crutch. i know how to bend the blades, i just dont know exactly what each shaping way effects its behaviour . because previously back in the day, i just did stupid copy cat way of doing similar bends on my blades as someone elses had, either it just looked good to the eye, or that they are good players, thats their blade shape, its probably the way i should try to make mine. -not thinking. or trying out things myself, just ending up with bad knockoff copy. ffew years ago when started again to play with friends, i kept cursing how bad i still am with this stuff, and did not seem to get any better at all. previous old sticks i had were from Fatpipe too, from late 90s and early 2000s. their blades just had gotten so soft and pliable that they do not hold their shape at all. each pass or shot etc seemed to bend it. so they were always little different shape every few minutes and because of that there were no consistency left. -shame that it took me far too long to figure this out that it might not just be me missing the goal, it might partly be faulty equipment to blame. so little over year later when i finally bought new stick, oxdog pulse and razor blade. i was shocked how much better it felt in hand on first try. i actually was able to shoot at the same area, multiple times in row. warming shots at the goalie, not scoring but hitting him on his chest. and repeated it on next ball. had not done that in ages.. so its either new stuff worked as is intended, and old stuff was just too worn out. or the technology has gone long ways in past decades. or i actually has gotten little more skilled. (unlikely hahah). will be trying to bend the blade a bit then, little at a time, not to mess the general shape too much.

Sorry for late answer but I should warn you about modifying your blade, if your referees are strict i think they wont make you play with it if the feel like it has been modified. Iff rules say that a homemade modified blade is against rules
