I've trimmed down 2 V1 Pro+s and they're holding up well. I've also trimmed two M1 Pro+s and had one snap where the shaft met the paddle the second game in. That was probably on me for cutting too deep, but I haven't used the second one very much to know (went back to EF4's to match the colors of my Axis pads). The EF4's have seen the most use since getting the Lundy grip cut in them and they're holding up like a dream.
Basic common sense stuff:
Practice on an old stick at least once
Use a sharp, fine toothed blade for your cuts
Sand your sharp edges lightly
Cover the area with epoxy to seal the foam inside the paddle and to protect your blocker from splinters/sharp edges
Use sponge tape for comfort and longevity of your blocker glove
Measure twice, cut once. Error on the side of taking too little material.
If you go slow and are careful I think you'll be OK. While you're at it you might try shaping the paddle differently. I never thought I'd like the Lundy grip, but now I couldn't use anything else.
Quick question as its pertains to pro+. my son was gifted an M1 pro+ 23.5 paddle is good however the shaft is quite long, would you suggest taking 2-3 inches off the shaft?. its quite the expensive stick to just cut lol. thanks in advance.
