I am looking to switch to a Lindstrom Curve. Can you people please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of using one.

Thanks

I assume you're talking about pro stock because no retailer makes a Lindstrom curve. Which Lindstrom's pro curve is it?

Its alot easier to shoot a puck into the rafters

Advantages: If you like a big heel curve with a square toe its good.

Disadvantages: If you don't like a big heel curve with a square toe its bad.

Curves are personal preference. I know people that can dangle the lights out with a lidstrom, I wouldn't use it if you payed me.

just the Easton Lindstrom

just the Easton Lindstrom

When did Easton start making a Lindstrom pattern?

Long ago, Chadd where have ya been, All the easton stuff has Lindstrom pattern. Thats what i use, I love it.

I'll agree with Thockey it is easy to shoot it in the rafters but you learn how to keep it down.

I'm pretty sure he meant the Lidstrom curve

Heel curve, square toe, quite open....etc.

You would think having a LiNdstrom and a Lidstrom would get confusing.

Its a shame you so called "hockey players" don't even know the name of perhaps the most fundamentally sound defenseman of this generation.

Yeah, I've got a friend I play with that is a great player, but if he is more than 10 feet from the net, his shot has about a 25% chance of being on net.

Especially considering the guy´s name is actually Lidström. Anyway, if you can twist your wrists enough to close the face of this curve it´s good for some leap passes or else roofing it from in close. Other than that I have no idea what you are supposed to do with that thing.

True, Chadd was obviously being sarcastic.

IMo it is the worst blade...but that just me...i can't see me dangling with big curve like this...i couldn't do toe drag...which is around 75% of my stickhandling technique..(i always control the puck at the middle-toe when doing deck)...

And your shot is always off the windows..this curve is too open...IMO(dont whant to start a fight) i think it is for defenceman you can't get up the puck when shooting from the blue...

You played on the Thrashers at Anaheim, right?

My guess is you're talking about Sebastien.

I've been using Lidstrom curve for 8 years----and I play center. It's all PP . . .

Me sarcastic? never. ;)

I used it when it was the leetch and I remember taking my first shot from just inside the hashmarks and bulging the twine. The problem is that it was the netting above the glass that I hit. I was never a big fan of the curve but it works for some people. I like having more of the backhand of the blade to use.

If I hadn't used that curve, I might not understand this.

That being said, it's very easy to go top top top shelf with this bad boy. I don't see how anyone can use this thing unless they just stand in front of the net all day and don't have a backhander.

Also, isn't ironic that the curve is named after a defenseman although it's useless from anywhere outside of between the hashmarks?

sounds like your taking about jonas hoglund...

back to the subject..

great in tight, and great for clearing the zone...

back hand is non-existent...

you can learn to control it.. but its tough...

defencemen like it so they can shoot over shoot blocking forwards...

as for shooting over the net... how many of us can score from the blue line on an unscreened goalie?

i find that it's great to stickhandle with, I can do toedrags and I can move the puck very well with it. For shooting, it works really well for me, I can aim very well with it and that being said it's my ideal curve. Like mentioned before, it is all about PP. Some people can't shoot accurately or stickhandle but others can.

I think you'd be better off with a Shanahan blade...in my opinion.

I tried the Lidstrom blade a while back and EVERYTHING was going high....everything....passes, shots,...etc.

Haha, yeah... We give him shit about it all the time
