Toe curve but not too open.  P92 in a pinch.

[Mapleleafs-13]

Seems like p92 is super popular.

I as well use one, might try something else one of these days but I figure if it's not broke don't fix it.

Started from a PM9 to P88 to P92. Stuck with P92's for a while and still use it! I'm really starting to love my Hossa curve though! I loved my AK27 just because of the curve (Gionta = Hossa clone). So right now I just mix around with a Sakic/Hossa.



Looking for a Kreps soon though!

Do you mean pro stock gionta? The retail gionta curve is not a hossa clone, more similar to kovalchuk pro than anything

Anyone have pictures of Easton's new e36 pattern?

[flip12]

I read the Gionta was based off of Demitra's pattern.

Easton P4 with Homemade mid-toe kink / Gionta is my favorite to date.

Waiting to try Leino's Kovalev clone. From stickhandling with it, the lie and toe shape work well for me. Can't wait to see how shooting with it is.

just tried out the kovalev pro on ice. the blade is so long it makes stickhandling weird, but it shoots nice

I really got to like E28 for eastons and P14 for bauers

I'm excited to try it, I just don't think I'll have time to until at least June, as I'm getting ready to move at the end of May. I think I had a Christian blade way back that was really long, still not quite this long. I could see it just being awkwardly big but so far I haven't had any opponents to deal with.

This is the same as the Perron for righties, correct? What is the lie on those things? Kreps/e28 is next on my list to try and depending on how that goes, the kovalev pro or kovy pro will potentially follow.

It was until the 10-11 season when he added a little more to the toe.  Not sure if he stuck with it or switched back.  Not sure on the lie.  Just a scary amount of rocker though.

Correct, i have a Perron as I am a righty. It is currently for sale if you are interested. I would highly recommend kovalchuk pro, stickhandling is effortless and if you shoot from anywhere near the toe accuracy is deadly. I have tried kreps as well and prefer kovalchuk

when kovy added more to the toe or perron? Mine was a perron ai9. not sure on the lie but you're spot on on the rocker.

I have recently put more emphasis on shooting from the toe, but don't know how I'd adjust to the lower lie. At least with the kreps, there is a higher lie for shooting.

[greghughes]

kreps is perfect for shooting off the toe but for my shooting style kovalchuk fits better, i found my shots would flutter when i shot with the puck too close to my body because of how open kreps is. Still one of my favorite curves along with p92. i think ill try hossa pro next

[greghughes]

Haha i would say kynetyk but apparently they're pretty sketchy nowadays.

I'd be lying to myself if I said I won't be looking to try it out one day. Unless the kreps just blows me away, my curiosity will get the best of me.

They've never been not sketchy. Fuck that company.

haha i know right i've tried out as many toe curves as i could get my hands on. even though im more than happy with the kovy and it fits my play perfectly, if it looks like i still want to try it

bad experience? luckily their right handed kovalchuk mold broke before i could buy a blade
