Thanks again for your opinions on those two curves. Super helpful.

I only got to hold a P86/Zegras for a minute so my memory is pretty vague. It has a definite toe component to its curve, but it's not as big as I expected. It seemed like the toe pocket was closer to the same size as the heel pocket on the P92. I didn't test it on the ice, so I can't comment about how it plays. P46 has a little toe curve, but it's somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 as deep of a pocket as the heel curve on it. I don't really feel like the P46 plays like a mid curve, but that could be because I find the heel curve on it annoying, like it's putting the parts of the blade I want to work with so far to the forehand that I have to mentally adjust for it a bit. I think I play it more like a heel curve and a toe curve, depending on the scenario, or more like I'm pretending it's a toe curve that happens to protrude awkwardly from the heel. P28 is dual curve like that for me. When I want to saucer pass, I usually use the heel curve; shoot or slip-under-the-defender's-stick pass, toe curve. I hadn't thought about it like this before, but it seems like each pocket can operate as its own locus of activity. I suspect P86 would be the same, since it has the two pockets as well. I think the difference for me with mid curves is, they're really just one continuous pocket. I haven't used a proper mid curve in quite a while. The closest in my collection is Warrior Smyth and P89. The Smyth is nice, but I sometimes find the puck annoyingly active on the blade while I'm carrying the puck...kind of like a car with aggressive lane-assistance. P89 is better in that respect, because the heel is very quiet. I didn't realize how important that can be until I adapted to Kovalev's early pro curve. The heel on that is super straight. There's some loft, and it does have some initial heel curve, but then it goes straight until it kinks again a smidge at the toe. Stickhandling with that is a dream because the puck stays right where it is along the length of your blade. I've never fully adapted to shooting with it though... Sorry, I'm ranting. It's all to say, it's surprisingly complicated for me to answer your curve style question. I think this is an aspect of pro-inspired curves that hasn't gotten much focus yet. So much was made of the "dual lie" of the P28, but it's every bit as dual curve as it is dual lie. Maybe that's why it's hit or miss for a lot of people.

Thanks for that! With the obvious differences in lie and blade shape, the pro4466 seems like it's more of a mid curve, compared to the pro9246 being more of a toe curve? Is that correct?
