Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 It'll depend on the person using it. It's essentially the same as the Yzerman pattern. If you're looking for a Modano type pattern, it's been renamed the Forsberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CYA AAA HOCKEY 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 not necesssarily looking for another modano/forseburg type pattern. Trying to find a new pattern in a way, figuring out what i can shoot better with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 It's trial and error, seeing what works best for you. Try out a few woodies or blades to try and find "your curve" and then go from there. No one curve is universally good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vapor#42 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 As eazy said, its trial and error, but the Gaborik/Yzerman is seriously the most disturbing looking curve ever.. i really cant understand why its on the Easton curve line up, to me, it just look awkward, i couldn't see how i could stickhandle or shoot with it.. but again, personal prefrence..

Nick23 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Looks like a spoon to me, felt like trying to shoot with one too, not very good for slap shots, IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeydude_49 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Gaborik/Yzerman is a really popular curve for the younger age group because for them the bigger the curve the better. I find that the curve is really hard to get used to it and backhands r terrible with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duder84 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Totally off topic, but does the Forsberg curve seem like its actually got a little more curve than the Modano? I was at my lhs the other day and saw a Forsberg ST and the curve seemed a little larger than the Modano... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skaog 1 Report post Posted June 21, 2005 I used the Yzerman for a while, and I liked it a lot. Just like any curve what works for some doesn't for others, but depending how you play this curve might work for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
