What's your favorite stick pattern?
Do you switch patterns often?

[Yetso]

My favorite right now is the P92, some people seem to think that a big open curve is a crutch for not having good technique, but I've used just about everything else from Bauer in a higher lie and the P92 just feels right. Started with the P88, transferred to the P91, decided I needed the combo of the two.

[DField56]

I started out with a Sakic but after a few months I wanted to try the P88, however I was unable to lift the puck effectively so I went back and stuck with the Sakic for the next year or so but once in a while I would try to go top shelf I would shoot way over the net, so I went back to trying the P88 I had and loved it. haven't looked back, though I would like to try other curves I am very content with what I have now.

I prefer the Easton Zetterberg or Iginla patterns.

I've also experimented with several toe curves, but generally always go back to my old faithful.

[ShaunJ13]

i tend to migrate towards a sakic type curve. However the sticks I mainly use are pro stocks and are a cross between a sakic and drury. Just lucky I've been able to find them and keep using them.

[Dupes]

My favorite curve is a P91A aka Drury curve.
I've tried multiple curves, and still do, but the one that gives me the most is the P91A.

Ideally 80-85 flex

What's your favorite stick pattern?

I don't have a favorite one right now; have been using either a PM9 or a Drury. I'd be interested in trying a Gionta or Zetterberg's pro stock curve.

Do you switch patterns often?

I've been using a PM9 for over a year, but the last stick I bought I went with a Drury (it's different, but I like it)

landed a hossa pro stock 85 flex tester ak27 stick on ebay with his retarted toe curve not too long ago...been scoring top cheese on rebounds ever since loll love it all my sticks are toe curve no matter brand easton reebok base wood anything as long as its toe curve it fits perfectly my style of play i park in front of goalie then roof those greasy rebounds

[uclahockey707]

Love the p91/drury

It's really the only curve I use, 87 flex, and mainly the TO.

Lucky too cause the drury is such a popular pro stock pattern.

Post some pics, guys. Want to check these out without having to look at the pattern charts online.

Aalways used P92 or a Sakic curve but recently started using insane toe curves like Afenesankov pro stock blades and Ovechkin pro pattern blades but I'm not sure if I'm liking it overall or not probably will be switching back to a P92 curve for my season

[greghughes]

thought i'd bring this one back, i've tried a lot of curves but my favorite pattern is the kovalchuk pro. got my first one in january and its the best curve i've ever used for stickhandling, and perfect for my shooting style. plus kovys sticks come at my normal stick height so i dont have to cut them 

[SSG_Beantown33]

Although this site causes me to have a severe addiction to prostock gear I havent really been into prostock sticks

 

I can never find the right combination, so I just use retail and completely happy with it

 

Haven been using P92 for the last year but find some of my clappers have been skyballing or if im on the blueline and dont get over it enough my snapshots are head high

 

Recently switched to a P106 Richards and love it....what I am sticking with for awhile and gives me sweet sauce

[iceman8310]

from high school, bauer p10, easton 301

 

now p92, warrior gionta, pro stock kovy, krejci (spelling)

[dirtysouthgentleman]

started with modano/iginla, migrated to sakic, and now into toe curves

[ken6473]

I've used a p92/sakic for the past 13 years, and I've recently started experimenting with a Parise type curve. 

[IDoezIt]

Warrior Gionta

[wrlittle]

I like patterns with moderate mid-curves with just a liiiiittle bit of heal. Like the Gagne/Richards P106, or CCM's new Lecavalier curve. Because those are harder to find curves, I'll sometimes settle on the P88. The Iginla pattern has too short of a blade for me.

 

75-87 flex.
