I think Perron dropped his modified Kovalev and is now using a modified Sakic. And to be fair, I don't think the Kovalev will ever appeal to the masses - it's a pretty unusual pattern, tall blade or not. Still, I'll definitely bring it up, and I agree it would be more usable with a taller blade, especially at the heel.
It's still the same length, rocker, but taller. It is just shaped similar to a bc28 that is stretched out with a bigger pocket and more toe.
I got 3 versions, the other two are way more playable than the bc27. I just mean appeal more to the players who like this type of curve.
The only reason I brought up the other curves is because there was talks of making a taller bc27. In that case if that was going to be offered, there should be a another look at all versions.
