I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to get a warp out of a laminated shaft? I have an OB-1 shaft that has a defined warp in the middle of it, I tried hanging it (not moistened) for about a week but it is still there.
 
Simply stated, bend it back to straight. This is best accomplished with the use of a table. Roll the shaft to find the high spot and bend the shaft at the exact high spot in the opposite direction until it's straight. Sounds easy right? Well, it is but care should be used that you don't over-bend it too much. Some shafts will stay where you put them and some won't.

I find the OB to be one of the most flexible of all the laminated shafts.

Unless you've voided your warranty SP? OB-1 stands behind there product, you can call them, tell them what happened, and they will replace it.

Great company, great service, great people.

I once had a warped Meucci shaft. I put it on a table, rolled it to find the highest point and then put a book on the middle of the shaft (location of highest point). I checked it every 3 or 4 hours and eventually (after two days) it straighten out. Believe it or not!

Whoops! I just realized that you mentioned an OB1. Sorry, the shaft I referenced was maple. I bet Royce will make it good.
