Anyone use this shed some light on there experience. I like everything about it but the low lie I current use a retail P14 with a lie of 6. Will this 4.5 lie just extremely screw me up?

I usually use a p92 or something similar, kessel curve was tough to use because of the very low lie. It would be fine if you took the time to get used to it though. I had too many other sticks to try so I didn't bother trying to get used to the kessel, but overall it wasn't too bad

How tall are you I'm 6'2 and there is no way kessel is 6 feet his listed height online he's shorter then Crosby I'm thinking he is 5'8- 5'9 at best. Would a lower lie like 4.5 be easier or harder for a taller player like myself to use?

I'm 6'2", and I find it difficult to use anything higher than a lie 5. Anything lower is just hard to find. If Kessel's pattern were available for lefties, I'd be all over it. I do have a larger wingspan than my height, which I suspect might be why a 5.5 or a 6 just doesn't work for me without a ridiculously short stick.

I have a Kessel S19, but my experience with different lies were adjustable by changing the stick lengths. For me personally, it is more difficult to adjust to different patterns than stick lies. I think if you had a very upright skating stance you might have a little difficulty with a used Kessel as opposed to an uncut one.
