    I was going to say "I'll hold judgement until I get my dirty toe lovin' hands on a few but was too lazy at the time ;)

    Looks like the Gionta is just the Smyth pattern renamed to me from that pic. Kinda dissapointing when we were hearing "Warrior Insiders" had this awesome new toe curve coming out. Boo

    yup, like I mentioned abouve, I've noticed him going to that tape job at the latter part of this season for some reason or another.

    I'm a toe curve guy through and through (also have a Kovalchuk, Samsonov [prostocks] and a ton of "toed" out sakic's) so the curve shouldn't take too long to get used to, but Ovie's is most def. the most open of the bunch.
  5. ZINC
    Yeah, it's the angle, here is a better pic of the curve Looks/feels like 1.5 ren hockey tape, def not an athletic tape.

    Shaft info Rocker Compared to a retail Sakic Haven't measured it yet, but it is just about an inch longer than a retail int. Warrior. I also noticed that he switched to a Kovalchuk style full tape job twords the end of this season compared to his 3/4 job he's used most of his career, kinda weird.
  7. ZINC
    Ah, well you did a good job on both then :lol:

    Pretty much this. I like a loose glove, both were pretty loose fitting. The Hossa's def have slightly longer fingers, and are overall an inch bigger than my 13" R8's. I love them.

    Hossa prostocks came in today. Was worried that the palms would be stiff, but they are the softest nicest palms on gloves I've ever felt. Can't wait to try them out tomorrow night at hockey Old TPS R8's with almost no palms left for reference.

    Or the other way around?

    They don't make a ak27 one piece. I believe, although am not positive, that they are just dolomites with the ak graphics package on them. Pros only. The shop at the Kings' practice facility has a couple of Johnson and Modry AK27's from last year. Both of theirs are setup the same way - it looks like a standard shaft with a short extension piece at the bottom, with a tapered blade. If I remember correctly, the connections aren't even painted over or anything, it's pretty easy to see the extra piece between the shaft and blade. I guess these guys really did want the non-tapered shaft setup, they don't look like Dolos with a paintjob. I know this is somewhat off topic, but my Tom Gilbert PS One95 is like this too. Standard shaft, with a coupler thing at the bottom, and then a tapered blade.

    Stern. Stern, but understanding :lol:

    Thanks man. I wasn't a big fan of the Vapor looks either, especially the red, so I went to work with the Sharpie, haha.

    Went upstairs on this one, too bad the photographer was zoomed in so much, but it is a cool shot. Taken from my game tonight.

    It's a prostock. It could be ANYTHING True, but every single 10k I've seen looks like mine, none like the retail. Wonder if its just a fancy wrap like the 12k on TPS sticks.
  16. ZINC
    Doesn't look like it.
  17. ZINC
    Hrm, the retail 10k stick looks much diff (carbon weave) than my prostocks. Wonder if mine are just painted up 7k's ?
  18. ZINC
    Ill post some pics of this once I get my camera back, but are there two different pro-stock versions of the One95? The Samsonov I have seems to be noticeably thinner down by the hossel area of the shaft compared to the T.Gilbert (Oilers) One95 I grabbed after their practice on wed. Gilberts stick is much stiffer and longer as he plays D, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.
  19. ZINC
    Just like to chime in and say that my Ryan Potulny 10k I picked up last night after their practice isn't like that.
  20. ZINC
    Do they still do this? I've been looking for a company that still makes custom carbon blades and figured they stopped making them. If you do order custom Carbon Kovalchuck blades ( that is assuming your RH) Put me down for one!! I'm a righty too, but I fell in love w/ the Samsonov curve, which is what I want to order. But I don't think Harrow does them anymore, and that one Czech site won't return my emails or calls, so that rules them out as well.

    Haha, thats EXACTLY what I did w/ the Samsonov. I got it for 5$ more than the Kovy blade alone on a buy-it-now which I did right away after seeing that blade go for so much.

    If you won that off TBL's ebay auction, I was the guy that you outbid at the last minute I hope it breaks! I keeeeed, let me know how it shoots fellow massive toe-hook lover. If you end up getting rid of it, or want to trade for my Samsonov One95 on the prev. page, holla (or Pm me ;) )
  24. ZINC
    Yup, got it on the bay. The curve almost mirrors my Afinogenov, but has more toe, and the toe is open rather than neutral.
  25. ZINC
    Feels like a 5, maybe a 5.5. Just an educated guess, but it can't be too far off those.
