I tried a handful and even had Geppetto make me a mold of what was once my personal favorite curve that is no longer available. The one I did stick with for a while was the Pro38. I can't say enough about what a great mid curve this stick is. But as I'm getting up in age and now play in a league that only allows snap and wrist shots, I wanted to try to get a curve that I didn't have to put near as much work behind as I did with the mid-heel and mid curves. Gradually moving to a toe curve and ending up with this one. The curves I did the best with to make this transition were the PRO38, PRO4466, PRO71 to my current curve the PRO9271. The 9271 has the blade shape of the P92, a higher lie and is a bit longer of a blade than the PRO71. I've considered trying the PRO712 as I do like the squarish style toe and the blade shape seems very similar to the PRO38. My only issue now is that it has a slightly lower lie and is a very long blade. Who knows. maybe I'll get one just to try it out.

Good info. However, these new tariffs are a real thing. Companies are not absorbing that cost. They are passing it on to the customer. Companies are also spending time and effort moving production out of high tariff countries like china. Not sure companies would spend the time, effort and capital if the threat wasn't real. I can say for certain there are companies that have already increased pricing due to tariffs.

I ended up going with the PRO9271. Everything about this curve has worked great for me. It also made me realize what a HUGE difference a higher lie made when shooting and and stick handling. If I was to nit pick and make this 100% perfect for me, I would make it into a Max height blade.

I last posted about these sticks in Aug of 2023. I have continued to order these sticks and have had a blast searching for my perfect curve. As it may have taken a what seemed like forever I have found it and couldn't be happier. Best part is that I don't have to custom order it as this is readily available in what is now called the BLUE OG. Easily my favorite sticks as they are more consistent and reliable than any other brand out there. Especially for the price. But how are we all not talking about the HUGE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM? The fact that the greatest goal scorer is (allegedly) using this stick speaks volumes to Geppetto's love of the craft of hockey sticks.

A few years ago I obtained a pair of hockey pants used in the movie “Miracle”. Eventually I had them turned into a shell. I’ve dropped about 50 pounds in the last year so now they don’t fit anymore. I was able to buy a smaller shell and Capital City Sharpening performed a “stripe transplant” for me. They did a fantastic job and I couldn’t be happier! Note: they discovered that the stars on the right stripe were built upside down. Check out the “before” picture on the bottom!
