Stick customisation

I'm looking to add a bit more grip on my stick, I suppose this is the most traditional way:

Quote:
(From the Dorsal website) We recommend that you lightly re-scuff the flicking blades every 4-6 months to maintain good puck grip.

To give the stick a heavy texture (HT):

Support the stick and keep it steady - Best done in a wood vice
Then use a fine toothed curved wood rasp to apply the texture on the blades. Repeat in light circular motions over the entire length, making sure not to take off too much material. You should be trying to rough up the rubber and plastic to make it feel "furry".
However, I have recently seen some players taking a hacksaw to their sticks and sawing vertical grooves on the flicking face of the stick- giving far more grip. Is this wise? Are there anymore suggestions on how to add more grip onto your stick?
