Yes, I do look at curves, if someone has a huge curve or loft, I can assume a majority of their shots will be high, backhands low, etc. Depends on how fast the play is and if I have time to think. With the E28, hand positioning and where puck is on the blade are good indications of how the shot is going to come off. Also when feet stop moving is indication player is going to shoot. Best way to score is shoot while feet are moving. :smile:

You're right on hand/puck position but assuming curve = shot location should be chalked up to shooter ineptitude more than anything else.

Back to the original post, I've been using a "dual-lie" blade since 2003, aka the Drury pattern/originally called YP19. Easton is basically just renaming sliced bread here as many have mentioned already.

Old thread but figured I'd chime in -

Used to use the Hull pro pattern in high school, and it's pretty much a E28 with an even more rockered blade and a bigger toe curve. Catching passes with it was a challenge for sure, a lot of pucks would go off the toe and out of reach, but the thing worked really well for one-timers because you can shoot from any part of the blade and even if the pass comes into your skates - you just put a knee down, slide your lower hand toward the bottom and snap it from there.

Haven't had a chance to see the E28 or the CCM P46 from up-close though. Seems like no one in Montreal is carrying it.
