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.

I picked up a set of these and love them on my Mach's! https://shotblockers.com/products/shotblockers-xt-pro?srsltid=AfmBOoqxmA8fOmylykv5RbhTJptNK_EmLLvh4-jSpB0NlMAt39zPlSAo

Thank you for the answer to this question.

This is the best video I have found on the P86 and description of the blade. https://www.instagram.com/hockeystickman/reel/C9N4I5EskR2/

Agreed, It is not the same curve.

We always had good communication on here. I remember he was a fan of the P89 curve. RIP Brian.

Hey gang, I keep hearing that CCM will be releasing this as their newest curve. Is there any truth to this and if so when should we expect it?

Guys, I think the Tacks / RBK 9K was the best girdle out there for comfort and protection other than maybe the old Bauer Supreme TotalOne. But May I suggest this bad boy of a girdle. I bought one used however it didn't fit and had to send it back. It was a tank and very breathable https://tackla.eu/tuote/tackla-breezer-3d-prozone-icehockey-girdle-sr/

Was thinking anything that's causing friction would eventually wear the holder out and cause the steel to not stay as stable as new.

Hey all, I know that it was brought up at the beginning of this thread about the design of this steel and the way it preforms possibly damaging or eventually wearing out holders. I was wanting to follow up and see if any of you have had any long time experience with these and if there has been any issues regarding this. Thanks in advance

Will this shell fit over a pair of traditional hockey pants and if so, does it require you to go a size up?

Hey guys haven't been on here in a while but was curious if based on what I have read above, that a code of LXPX would mean its an LX PRO with a QX blade and the X would mean the blade is extra stiff? BTW, What hand do shoot beerleaguecaptain? I came across a P46 curve if you're still using it.

You raise a VERY VALID point. I guess my question now is; why does Bauer offer this if they are not benefiting from it in some way?

I would suggest that if you are TRULY interested in that to look into www.Prostockhockeysticks.com . Geppetto offers most everything and anything you could ask for at an extremely fair price and high quality products. He is who made my mold and my sticks for me. I get your point and that is why I say to at least provide a custom offering like the one vendor does. That way stores aren't at a high risk of inventory and neither is the vendor if you are going to have to wait a few weeks for what you want. Hell, they could even require a minimum number of sticks so they know that the guys like us are serious about what we are wanting. To be fair I would love to hear from someone at Warrior as to why the stopped the custom offerings just so I can make sense of it all. I really do appreciate the feedback from you guys because I believe this is how we help move the needle and why I have always loved this forum.
