    I am a huge fan of the STX elbow pads. Check them out. 

    Any experience with the HPR elbows? They look decent, but how deep is the pocket and the lock?

    I don't think I have weird elbows, but I swear every pad I try slides down by tugging on it, except my ancient Jofa's

    Elite just updated their website.

    Got some great (general) info on sharpening and of course on their machines too.

    I've had this sharpening done twice now and I have to say I'm impressed. Very coefficient and consistent. I'd highly recommend checking them if in Montreal, for the rest of us it might be a while for retail machines unfortunately. Hopefully the hype from the NHL starts to trickle down sooner, rather than later.....

    Also, as Stephen said, we're open to any pattern as long as there's enough interest. The Ovechkin kinda sputtered out when I inquired about concrete interest, so we'll keep looking at other patterns and gauging their popularity.

    Depending on the lie, face and the rocker this could be a really good curve.  Something that anyone could use, need more pics from the top and side though.

    +1 for the Barkov 

    and of course myself too so that's +5 to start but I'm sure there's others that haven't chimed in yet. Now's your time.....

    (apologies if I quoted anyone out of context)

    Bc14 and bc27 user, both in nasty r ops. Would buy barkov if lie is indeed 5. Bc14 sticks up just a bit too much for me while skating. 

    The Barkov fits in well between those two indeed. I think it's the perfect compromise.

    It also fits well between at P92 and P88 too, which is why I think it will be a very popular curve.

    A P92/P88/P14/BC27 hybrid, hahaha

    I find it hard to sauce passes with the kovalev, it opens up early and has a heel kink.

    I like the barkov, but I feel it would be better with a toe kink on the end.  It would make it really playable all around but give you the benefits of the toe curve. 

    Haha that's exactly why I think it would work for more people. It's less extreme and easier for p88 or p92 users to switch from if they want try something towards a toe curve. Also I think it will be the jack of all trades type toe curve: great for backhands, big sweet spot for shooting, 5 lie, slightly open, deep enough pocket to really take advantage of the toe curve and good amount of rocker without being to extreme like the Kovalev.

    Still using the bc28?

    Doesn't look like we are getting much traction on new curves here.

    Base Kovalev- but I really wish it was the old slightly lower curve

    I wonder what curve Base is working on.. it seems like it has been a while since they released a new custom curve.

    I'm hoping for the Jamie Benn pro -- from what I've read, it's a hybrid of the P28 and P92

    It doesn't seem like they are workin on anything or at least nothing I've seen or heard about. It's kinda a shame because it seems like they've deserted this thread and the good work they started. 

    The Benn curve is kinda cool, but really not that different from a p92 (I know it hasn't the toe kink) personally I think the Barkov pro about would be a smarter add to their line up as it fills a hole and gives a new very useable option to a big market of p88/92 users.

    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback regard flex point on the Base Supernatural? I was under the impression this was a mid flex stick, more inline with a Supreme series flex point but on the website it states the Supernatural is a "Low-Mid".

    When I think of a low-mid stick I'm thinking of a Tacks or True A-series or maybe even a True X-series which slightly lower than true mid. How would you compare the Supernatural kick point to the above sticks or is it more of a true mid like a supreme series?

    @MrData any thoughts?

    Just an update on my new True skates unfortunately is not good news. After only the second time/second game wearing my skates I noticed a gash in the carbon fiber, The gash it is about 1.5 inches wide by a 1/4 inch tall on the right side of the left skate. I attached some pictures below.
     
    Keep in mind, this is beer league, non checking hockey. I'm not sure if it was a puck off the foot, but nobody in the league has a shot to be afraid of to do much damage.
     
    I reached out to MonkeySports where I bought them, to contact True Skates to see what they can do to fix the issue and will provide an update. Please let me know if you have come across any similar situations and have any suggestions. For only using the skates for the second time I'm pretty disappointed for a pair skates that cost over a thousand dollars.

    I can't say 100% from those pictures, but it looks like the resin coating over the carbon has been scratched, probably by a skate blade. If that is the case or even if it's damaged the top layer of carbon, it really shouldn't be an issue. If it really bothers you, buy some resin and fill in the scratch. It's cheap and easy to do yourself.

    A lot of his curves look nice like that, seeming like softer E28s. I'm suspicious of his rocker though. It looks like it goes really high. Do you have some good shots of the blade face on his sticks?

    Looks pretty user friendly to me (although I haven't used one personally, I'm RH)
