What WERE you using and why did you switch?
What have you tried?
I’m currently using a P28
I was using a P91a/P92/P88 and switched to improve my shot and I was bored
I’ve tried: P14/P92/P92 Lie 5/P88/P30
I’m considering switching back to P88 or P92. I liked the P30 but they’re killing the pattern off and I ended up going back to a P92. I have a hard shot with the P28 but no back hand and it’s not a pattern you can shoot puck off of anywhere on the blade. Shot placement is high glove almost every time and placement isn’t as easy as blander patterns for me.

P91A
Ive been trying to switch, because P91A is getting hard to get.
Currently trying P28 and P88, but nothing feels like my good old P91A.

Lot of guys I know went from Drury to P28 because at the right length it essentially turns into a P91a with a toe. Duchene just made the switch from Sakic pro, Kevan Miller went from P91a to P28 too.

Interesting, ive been trying for a bit, but always go back to my P91A QX sticks.

P88 for me since the days of youth hockey and Supreme 3030 wooden sticks. I do have one P92 and one P28 stick because I wanted to try them out but the P88 always just feels right so there is no reason to switch. Maybe if the curve ever gets killed off I'll make the switch to a P92 but until then I don't see me switching.

I have considered switching to the P92 or P90T/Benn pro. I find myself to be very accurate with the P28 when time allows it but a faster game and it suffers. It’s like a .357 Sig vs 9mm. Shot placement/capacity/follow up shots are much more important than having the more potent round.
P90T is a perfect middle ground between the P28 and P92 IMO.

Bounced around several different patterns over the past few years, but I've always gone back to the Lidstrom. I recently got away from it because I couldn't find low-lie Lidstroms (apart from True's HCS, which is listed at lie 5.5 but plays more like a 5), and I was using BASE's lie 4.75 Drury and several different lie 5 Sakics. However, I don't think the lower lie makes that much of a difference for me. I rotate a few different patterns, including high and low lie Lidstroms, Drurys, and Sakics, but I still like the Lidstrom best. The Drury is too much of a wedge for my taste, the Sakic doesn't have enough heel, and the Lidstrom has a nice square toe. I think my ideal custom pattern would be a lie 5 max height Lidstrom (which would look brutal, but would probably be great to play).

Was a heel guy for years Brind’amour . Last year I switched to a W28 , best pattern i ever used . I have been using the EK65 but having a hard time to find more at a reasonable price . I have a contact at warrior but they’re 196$ per stick and minimum 4 plus ship .
Pretty sure prostockhockey has some EK65 twigs now
