I just got an Easton Stealth S5 shaft from Cyclone Taylor yesterday.
I got them to attach a blade on, but realized it was about 3 inches too long.

Should I go back and expect they will be able to cut it for me, free service?
Or should I just take out a hacksaw and try to cut it myself?
(If I cut it myself, any tips on how to approach that?)

This is pretty much the entry level ($30) composite shaft, so there isn't any
special kick points or anything like that.

if you bought it from there then they will doit for you for free.

If you're doing it yourself you don't have much to worry about except making sure you make a straight cut. Lightly score the shaft a couple times until you make a dent in it before cutting. If you're placing the stick on a rough surface and holding it down with one hand while cutting the graphics will get all messed up so I'd wrap it in a towel.

yea they'll do it for free.

most likely they will do ti for you for free.. since you are a customer..

It turns out I might just end up doing it myself because I might not have time to go out to Cyclone Taylor today. And I need to use my stick tonight.

Is there any issues I need to worry about, like the shaft cracking?

I got one of those things where I can put my stick against this flat thing that already has precut grooves for a saw, so I can get a straight cut.

for the time being...

I'm not in a league or anything. Don't have the time to commit, nor the money. Since I'm not working now, even the drop-in price can add up... lol

I'm just playing drop-in rollerhockey twice a week for the summer. (the cost is cheaper than ice) and I can practice rollerhockey on my own without having to pay for stick and puck.

I'll probably play ice again in the winter if there is drop in sessions again.
