how about for plastic/composite

like will it seem ok but actually its out of shape?

if so how can i check?
The stock graphite arms will bend to a certain degree then break.
if it bends it should retain it's shape.... the only way to check is to take it off and lay it on a flat surface. if its warped...then it's time to replace it....

the stock arms are very durable...I've smacked a few boards that would have broken TC3 arms... so far I haven't broken any arms......knock on wood...
