Bauer Curves

[SR27 0]

I am thinking of buying a Vapor XX Stick´um but am totally clueless what curve I should get. My last retail Bauer blades were Lehtinen so you guess I am totally unaware of what the current patterns look like. From what take out of the pattern db I can cut my choices down to either the Hossa, Jokinen, Naslund or the P91.

One of those was a Sakic clone, right? That one would be a scratch for me as well. So of the reamining three is there anything close to an Inno McCarthy? I´m just talking about the actual curve not the lie, shape, etc....

Nothing close to the Mccarthy sorry. The PM9 Hossa is a modo clone with a tad more loft. The p106 Jokinen is unlike any other curve I've seen, it's like a Drury but it has more curve to it and a little less open. I'd go with the Jokinen and I use the Iggy, but you really need to visually see the curves before making a decision.

That is somewhat helpful, thanks. So the Hossa is a cut as well. MY lhs does not have them in stock so I can´t a look myself. How is the Jokinen compared to the Iggy? I can use the Iginla curve but I´d like it a bit more open and a bit more curved...and a "senior" sized blade cause the Iggy is to smallish for my taste. Do you think the Jokinen will do that for me?

Yes, it seems like what you'd want.

Thanks Dan!

I just received some pics and it seems the Naslund is the Sakic clone I was thinking of.

Anyway. The Jokinen and and the P91 look pretty similar to me. Anyone who has a P91 can describe it or compare it to the Jokinen?

Sorry to bother you guys..

Here I am again lol. Yeah it's baisically a Drury clone which you don't want.

do you mean p92 (naslund)? cause i have jokinan and naslund and they are totally differnt theres hardly any curve in the jokinan but as you know the naslund is exactly the same as the sakic there pretty much opposite curves.

The Jokinen has curve.

Okay thanks. I was getting a little confused cause the pics I received were partly named with numbers and partly with the player´s name.... after checking the Bauer website I think I can cut it down to either the Jokinen/P106 or the Kovalchuk/P91. I can figure the Jokinen now but does anyoine have a description of the Kovalchuk?

[Megamandan 0]

P91 Kovalchuk, Is basically a Drury.

Okay, thanks! I´ll go for the Jokinen then.

Chadd, you can delete this thread if you like.

P92 = Sakic Clone

Lindros is basically a longer, bigger Iggy if you haven't bought the stick yet.

Nasland Lindros and jokinen are vary simalar.

nazzy has the most loft on it and lindros is a mid heel curve.

jokinen iam not too sure only seen it once.

Naslund is a mid curve.

Lindros is a mid curve with a high lie..

Jokinen is a heel curve.

Not very alike, at all.

I was thinking Lindros but it´s not available where I got this offer from and since I´m getting this stick for very cheap I´ll have to go with a different one. I just received a pic comparing the Kovalchuck, Naslund and Jokinen. They are very different but all nice in a way...
