I know the "kreps" is a very popular curve and very similar to the gionta. From my understanding the Gionta is more of a closed toe than the kreps. Is there a clone of a gionta in a pro stock bauer to look out for? Which players to look for. The gionta is my favorite curve. Wish warrior still made it.

What about Sherwood? A few of their sticks had the PP01 Smith offered, which is as close to a Gionta as you can get. EK15 and T100 are both on the top of each Sherwood line and I believe PP01 was offered on both.
As for Bauer, you would have to wait for the P28 (clone of the Kreps/E28), which I believe is being released with the new Vapor stick in February. Or give the P14 a try.

the e28/kreps is more open than the gionta which is more closed. I'm looking for a gionta not the kreps. thanks though. the p14 was fair

Be forewarned the Sher-Wood PP01 Smith Pattern is being dropped come January 2015 in favor of the P14.

As stated above, the Sher-Wood Smith is a toe curve that is very close to the Gionta pattern.
The Gionta pattern was based off Demitra's pro curve if you're a lefty.

also remember the rockers are totoally different between the gionta and the kreps. kreps has the flat bottom on the heel/mid and gionta has a rounded heel to flatter mid

I know you said Bauer, but Easton has the E35, which pops up on some pro stock stashes under Hockey Monkey or on eBay. I've read it's a Gionta clone and if it's not that, it's certainly pretty close. Also, the E36, available on retail should be a little closer than the e28, both in being less open and also more even in blade height from heel to toe.

the e35 is close. It's a bit deeper. I actually like it a little more than the gio.
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANYTHING NEW JERSEY DEVILS!!!
