Thanks for this answer. Interesting that it could be even more closed. I do appreciate your help though and peoples descriptions/pictures. I am overseas and there’s only a handful of LHS’ which are hundreds of miles away so I can’t just go pick these curves up to look at them. I have to rely on the internet and pictures. FWIW I’m fairly confident Sherwoods p28 is also the OG Fisher curve… totally relying off internet pictures and my own Sherwood p28 so I could be wrong. I know each manufacturer is different, I also love trying new curves 🙂 CCM p28 (left) vs Sherwood (right) p28: https://ibb.co/YksSKxm Bauer p28 vs OG Fisher (kuch curve?): https://ibb.co/j83BdLq I know it’s a pain but if anyone actually has a Pasta and could side by side compare these in a picture it’d be a huge help.

So when Bauers website says the Pasta is more open, it’s really not? The main reason I ask is because I actually like the sound of a more open p28, so I’m leaning towards giving it a shot.

Old thread but do you have pics of the Pasta still? Debating either the Kuch or Pasta MyBauer. Does anyone know if they even play differently?

This would make sense actually. I remember watching or reading somewhere about the thousands of curve moulds Warrior has. I imagine every manufacturer has a few hundred p28 variants alone. I’d assume the use the most common variant maybe… Anyone from manufacturers in here that could jump into this convo? Would be fascinating to get inside info

Love this topic. Recently start switching back and forth between p28 variants and p92/p90/p90tm/benn curves. Variety is the spice of life! My question is, has anyone used the Pastrnak or Kucherov Bauer custom curves? Can’t seem to find much info on these but really want to try them but don’t want to buy both just to try them haha. From what I can gather, despite being similar they play different. Also for those interested, I’m pretty sure that Sher-Wood’s p28 is actually the Fisher variant (which is what the Kuch is I think?). It has a smoother and more gradual curve, definitely less of a flat spot and is noticeably shorter. Check out the images below. Based on Bauers old marketing from Insta, the Sher-Wood looks identical to what Bauer claims is the Fisher. Similarity is remarkable isn’t it? Bauer’s Insta p28 (left) vs Fisher (right): https://ibb.co/F80Pmbq Sher-Wood p28 (right) vs Bauer p28 (left): https://ibb.co/7Gz19PG Does anyone have experience playing with the Kuch or Pasta variants? How do they compare to the p28 in terms of shooting, puck handling etc? Ie) if the Sher-Wood is in fact a Fisher, I notice my accuracy for some reason is not as pin point, perhaps because of the shorter blade, not sure. That said, the gradual curve removes that dead spot of the p28 and getting a shot off that doesn’t flub is substantially better (I used to play high level across the pond and fully admit this sometimes still happens to me with a p28! - also where my obsession with trying different curves started. Loved it when reps came with all their different sticks and curves to try!). Plus puck control is better, again possibly because of the shorter blade. Passing is almost the same but sauce is easier with the Sher-Wood p28 Fisher like curve. Trade offs right? What do you guys think? Would love to hear from some Pasts/Kuch or Fisher users? Thoughts on the Sher-Wood Fisher p28 vs Bauer p28 analysis?

Old thread I know… but aside from the cuff, how does the fit compare to the QRL? QRL’s are my go to glove but I like matching my sticks to gloves… so I’m shopping around for a CCM. And the hg12’s look ideal or close to the QRL…

Made a p28 and Fisher curve post and was referencing Pro sticks and realised it is probably worth posting here too instead of an older thread. Great comparison photo of the OG Fisher curve vs Bauers p28 and some observations on p28’s between brands.

Sorry for reviving an old chat, but really like this image of a p28 vs the Fisher curve. I firmly believe curves are never identical across brands and vary slightly or a lot. Ie) I really like the CCM p28 but can’t ever seem to get it working for me as good in the Bauer.. no idea why as they look similar (but not identical). Anyways, I have the Sherwood TMP Pro p28 and it was noticeably different to the CCM p28, in that the blade is shorter, a little more open, slightly less toe and to be honest, looks identical to the Fisher curve shown here… makes me wonder if Sherwood used the OG Fisher curve for their p28… or is Pro stock hockey sticks the OG Fisher (aka Pasternak) because from images that I’ve seen, Pro’s is closer to the CCM p28 not the Fisher in the above image… I’d love to try an OG Fisher vs CCM p28 given so many NHLers use the Fisher… Anyone else have some p28 Fishee insights?

Ha I know but that’s like Bauer saying hyper2lite stick releases so fast it’s insane. It’s different hearing real world experience from people.

Yeah I’ve found all this before. I’m a ridiculous stick nerd. Why I love what Geppetto is doing. Guess my question is if anyone has any experience with these super round shafts. Are they OK or too round?

Since Gep just did a new in stock drop, instead of doing custom might get direct… only thing is, all his 70 flex sticks are the super round shape… How round are these? Are they like the Vapor shafts or even smaller? I’ve heard a lot of people say the shafts feel small… I don’t mind the Vapor shafts but I do like a girthy stick to play with in my hands 😂 It would be so much easier if we could just go to a LHS and check the sticks out!

Depends on which generation of alpha… I find the qx was more mid kick then it went lower kick with the dx. I’ve got a dx and redline mid kicker, just shot them and it feels the dx kick point might be lower like I said, but the redline feels way smoother releasing and has more power, pop and comes off quicker. Alpha dx puck feel is more dampened vs the redline - so personal preference there, but I like stiffer pingy blades. The redline is better imo. I can’t offer an opinion though with the LX or LX2 as I’ve never used either but for what it’s worth I’ve gone through a few dx and qx’s… redlines are still going strong though after comparable use.

Thank you so much. Saves me from being disappointed. Didn’t realise the p46 was an e4 mod! Really likes the curve of the p46 but going from p92 type curves the lie just seemed too low. FWIW lining up my p88 to my p46’s, they seem to have a much closer lie vs a p92. I’m definitely a higher lie guy.

Hi guys - looking at clicking submit order soon. Just can’t make my mind up on curves… definitely sticking to the Benn P90t, my personal favourite… maybe the new Tage Thompson too… I like trying curves way too much. But my main question is around the pro71 Malkin… anyone try that? I used to like the ccm p46 back in the day (aside from the low lie) but any insights into this curve coming from a p92? Does the p71 have a lower lie like the p88 despite both being labelled a lie 6…? Or is this basically an old warrior w71? I really liked the Laine curves but found I missed a lot of pucks under the heel due to the fairy aggressive rocker… I’m open to other suggestions from you guys in curves too, like the Nylander which also looks great

Does anyone have experience using Pro’s low kick sticks AND a Bauer BGP2B build? I have 2NPROXL’s with extra stiff blades and they perform very similar to the mid kick Redlines. I’m hoping for the same similarities between the low kick build Redline and BGP2B. Given how hard Bauers BGP2B build is to come by, I’m hoping the Redlines in the 375g or 350g low kick build perform and feel the similar to the BGP2B…
