Yea I had that same feeling - got my hands on someone's P92 to compare and you're spot on here. Gonna give one of the new PSHS sticks in a P92 a shot to see how that goes (believe it or not I never used one growing up, was always either a PM9 or P88 for me). Thank you all for your replies. Another one of the PSHS curves I've tried that I forgot to mention was the Draisaitl (again if anyone is looking for thoughts on any of the curves). I was super intrigued by the size. Just could not shoot with it in game situations. Standing still in my driveway could pick where I wanted pretty easily, but impossible to get right on ice during games. Everything else was fine. The big difference I noticed, unsurprisingly, was that I got a piece of every single puck I was in the vicinity of in the d-zone, it really is a big blade. My thinking for trying it out was that I liked the PM9 way back when which was relatively straight so might as well try it and it really didnt shoot the same for me.

For you curve geniuses here. This has been discussed on the forum before, but I was a lifelong P88 user but I wanted something with a bit more loft and, because of another thread, I went with the Pro19 from PSHS. And I love it! Sort of exactly what I was looking for except for one thing - I do not like the thinnish blade and P28-like toe shaving. Another problem is that it doesnt seem like the Pro 19 is a particularly popular curve so the OG Red builds are out of stock (and they dont make it in the new sticks). Would anyone have any idea what I should try to basically get the Pro19 but with a wider face and more rounded/squarish toe. I am researching all of the PSHS curves and am driving myself crazy. Anyway, to add to the blade discussions for others perusing the thread I have tried the Pro71 (Malkin Pro), Pro1088 (Kane Pro), and Pro19. For the Pro71 I agree with others here that it is not necessarily a modified P88. I didnt love it and that is coming from a P88 user. Stickhandling was great, but there was just something off about the shot. For the Pro1088 the stickhandling and passing was amazing, but the shooting was horrendous for me. It was hard to get any velocity on the shot off the rush. Accuracy was ok, but was rarely beating goalies clean.
