My guess is it's about streamlining operations. Back in the day, here's what I remember. If you go to a store's clearance section, you would have the 100+ flex sticks, and you would have the sticks with the least popular curves. And those sticks would stay around forever until the store eventually marked them down enough for the cheapskates to grab them. I remember going into pro hockey life and their clearance section was as big as their new stick section. Now, it's about a dozen or so sticks. Some of which are still holdovers from years back. Heck, there are still Easton sticks on that clearance rack. With three curves, they mitigate situations like that. Fewer SKUs means fewer risks. A hockey player isn't going to stop playing hockey if their favorite curve isn't offered anymore. They simply adapt. A store/company won't be losing that stick sale, so what's the incentive to offer more variety? Those who are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to get the specs they want are IMHO few and far between. For me, there isn't a stick on the market that fits my ideal of "perfect specs" for me. If a company offered my idea of "perfect specs" as a custom, I'd be interested. BUT I'd only be interested if the price was right. I'm not selling my left nut to get a luxury item that, at best, is only going to improve my performance along the margins.

I'm the same...progressive but contacts are distance only. I am gonna try to force myself to get used to using them😖😬🤣🥅🇨🇦🏒😎Thanks everyone!
