10 people voted Yzerman, but no-one spoke up? I love mine, and am sad they discontinued it. I held it up to a Gaborik, and found that the lie wasn't TOO different (5.5 vs 6) but the end of the curve seemed more open. We'll soon see. I like my blade for stickhandling and snap-shots/wrists-shots, but it's terrible at backhands and slapshots. I never go to my backhand anymore, cos you have to really get some power over the puck.

Oh well.

I use a custom wood blade with a Z Bubble most of the time.

It is something between the retail Inno Mogilny and the current TPS Tucker.

From the pics. the Ribeiro looks like it might be a good fit for me, but I have yet to see one. Anyone know how the specs of the Ribeiro compare to the Mogilny?

Usually Drury. But recently I found this old Easton custom blade some kid left at my arena with "Belter" stamped into it. Sickest toe/mid curve ever. Not so great for slappers so I put it in a whip flex stick I have and it rips for wristers. It's my new forward stick. I should post pics to see if anyone has ever seen it before.

Usually a Sakic or similar clone (TPS Nash, Inno Mogilny). Also use a Reebok Datsyuk occasionally. I used Shanahan forever until the new high-end Eastons discontinued the Shanny pattern. Switched to Sakic and I've adapted and like it better than the Shanny.

the nash curve is a mid-toe. You use 3 different curves all together.

Hull and crosby at the moment, though im trying to get hold of some tapered modo/drury's to replace the hull

I saw a Inno hull retail for the first time yesterday. I was really suprised that it was a bigger curve than mogilny? You look at the old Inno chart and it looks to be the one with the least curve. It was the wrong hand but it was like a Iggy. very weird.

I'm currently using a Lidstrom curve. Got a 100 flex Z-Bubble paired with one of the old blue UltraLite blades. I found it in my rack of old sticks, and since it was uncut, I put a plug in it to make it prefect for me. I love the combo. The Lidstrom for me is a perfect "defenseman" curve. Big heel curve for slappers, square toe for picking it up off the boards, and it is fairly easy to stickhandle with IMO. Only problem I have with it, is it is harder to keep shots low, compared to my Drury Stealth.

**Yes, I know it sounds wierd that I'm using a Z-Bubble, and putting my Stealth as a backup**

On my Sher-wood Two Piece:

Shaft: Sher-wood Comp Taper Fit 95 Flex

Blade: Coffey Jr.

I like the pattern of a straight blade. Passes are so much more accurate and backhand shots are good too. If I were to change anything on this blade, I'd make it more open so I can nail top shelf.

I voted Sakic/Naslund/Legwand because thats what I prefer. Recently Ive been using a 7K pronger as my main stick, which isnt close enough to drury to call it a clone.

As for pro stock, i use mainly Gamache's, Gagne's, and Avery
