Hi there,

I can't speak to the BC68, since I haven't used it. However, the profile is very similar to a BC92 (Backstrom). Personally, I don't feel the need to use a BC68 over a BC28 Kreps because I like the profile of the Kreps curve. The rocker at the toe helps me take drag-and-shoot snapshots. However, some people don't like the tapered, rockered toe, so I can see why they choose the BC68. There is a picture of both patterns side to side in the post you quoted - second from the top. Both are quite open, so you shouldn't have any trouble elevating the puck in close if your shooting mechanics favour toe shots.

thanks for the feedback! im not a fan of the backstrom curve, thanks for pointing that out :) ill give the BC28 a try once i order the newer version of the BASE LT (after they make any adjustments) drew said approx a months time. so excited!

I'm not actually sure, but now I'm curious too! I'll find out and let you know. For me though, the second letter doesn't seem to affect anything. It only differentiates two patterns with the same number.

Glad you asked!

BC28 Kreps on the left, BC68 Ronning/Scooter on the right

 

I have pictures of a number of different curves. I'll see about making them available either on here or the BASE Blog. Here's the BC10 Russell (same curve as Hossa but taller blade):

 

 

 

Hi MrData,

do you mind posting a side view of the BC28/BC68 curves?

which one cups the puck better for toe drags?
do you notice a difference in how the rocker affects your shots?

im debating on trying one of these curves for my BASE LT.

i currently using the BC88 and im looking for something to help me go top cheese when im up close.

thanks in advance.
