For my science project I wanted to test ice hockey sticks. I used a wooden and 
a similar alumimum stick.  They both were about the same.  The wooden one was a 
little more accurate. I put the sticks away in the back of my mom's truck after 
trying my experiment.  The next day when I took them out the alumimum one was 
warped!  It cost $45 dollars!  When I took it back to the store they said they 
did NOT guarentee alumimum sticks because they warp.  They could not tell me 
why they warp.  Of course I can't find any information out from the stick maker 
either. It was not even a cold day when I put the sticks in the truck.
Thanks,
Aaron Cox
