You sir are correct. P90T is left most in both photos and is a prostock FT2. Middle is pro stock P28 but I just checked, there's actually no curve marker on the stick, so it could be slightly off compared to retail, which... is the right most stick which is a Warrior DT4 Yakupov curve which is a P28 clone. Here's some better pics: The only thing I notice is retail P28 on the right has a little more open toe, and it's got a little more curve to it than the other two. I wonder if the Vatrano stick I have is actually a P90T. I read online that many pro's were using that curve for a while but it wasn't really marked as anything. Could just be marked as "toe curve" on sites like PSH. To my eye, they are almost indistinguishable in curve when you compare them to the right-most stick.

So I got the FV1 on my helmet and out for a skate. It took a little while to get used to but I do like it so far. It's not some magic bullet as I still feel there's kind of a "blind spot when the puck is in my feet, but I experienced 0 fogging issues at all. The worst thing to happen was I ended up touching the mask with my sweat finger during a rest and that caused a little smudge but it wasn't really that noticeable. I also had the Tron hybrid that I put on and I didn't like it as much because of the metal cage on the bottom. It was more of a distraction but I'm sure I could get used to it. For right now I just don't see a reason to keep it unless the FV1 starts giving me issues.

And it scrubbed off pretty easy. I owned a pair of these, had them for 10+ years, haven't found a skate as comfortable since.

It was about the steel, not the profile. What Bauer/Prosharp is going to do is offer custom profiles through the MyBauer portal.

I have had the FV1 for a little while now and really like it. I intentionally tried to fog it up on one of the hotter days in the rink at a drop-in and it didn’t. Even when others have fogged hybrids, I have no issues. I have only ever used a cage before the FV1 and appreciate that it is lighter and the visibility. I have it installed on a medium Bauer IMS 5.0. I had to swap to the J-clips that came with the FV1 to get a good fit, which I assume is expected. The chin strap and pad stay in place nicely, and lock in tight when adjusted which I like. I have read some reviews of issues with the chin pad on other bubbles. I treat it just like any motorcycle visor. Clean with water and a microfiber, haven’t done anything else to it. No anti-fog spray etc. Seems fairly scratch resistant and I keep my helmet in the provided bag while transporting. I’d recommend giving it a shot if it fits well when you first get it. I kept mine with the stickers on to try it on first before deciding to keep it. Ordered from PureHockey, and would have been able to return it if needed.

Daoust 501s had titanium blades circa 1989

Not really if all they're offering is standard cuts. You can go see Greg and Jeff over at Total Game Plan Sports - they're former Total Hockey guys over in St. Charles; they have a Blackstone machine. Tell them I sent ya. Or you can send them to me. Refugees welcome.

Definitely not something that happens or should be happening. Never had this issue ever. Probably a defective set or whoever is sharpening them are ruining them somehow.
