Lecavalier blade pattern

[Fredrik 0]

I would like to have some opinions from users. How do you find this curve, pros and cons? Is it a Lidström clone?

Thank's in advance! :)

I used one and I couldn't stand it. My main curves right now are an Yzerman Jr. Easton blade and a Hull Mission Hex-1, and I love those curves. I just couldn't stand the Lecavalier blade...it's all PP for you though

Man , i just started using this curver, and i think its phenomenal, but as Ebondo said, its all personal preference. It is very similar to a Lidstrom curve, and while i have to adjust a little to make sure i keep my shot down, i find the curve very easy to get good slappers and quick high wrist shots with.

If you like the lidstrom, you'll like the Lecav.

Yes it is a Lidstrom clone.

I used this curve for only about a month. Coming from a Modano, it took some time to adjust. This curve will pick your shots up much higher, so I had to work on keeping my follow through lower, it is a great shooting curve once you get the hang of it though. The biggest problem I had with the curve, was stickhandling felt clumsy, and I never felt like I had total control of the puck, so I stopped using it. That's just me though. I know a few guys that can dangle people out of their skates with a Lidstrom curve, so it really comes down to personal preference.

Thank's everyboby for your replies! It seems either you like or dislike it...

I agree - it allways comes down to personal preferance, but i wanted to get your opinions. So the biggest concern would be stickhandling, right?

When i look at the curve pattern chart, it says "slightly open face". And the Lidström curve - "very open". Would that be a big difference? Also, different lies and blade lengths i believe. Anyone??

They're both 6 lie, no? And if it's a clone, they're the same thing, as someone stated above.

Lidstrom - Deep heel curve. Depth 1/2". Very Open Face. Medium(length). Lie 5.5

Lecavalier- Moderate heel curve. Depth 3/4". Slightly Open Face. Long. Lie 6

IMO Lidstrom is more curved and the Lecavalier is more of a wedge and straighter.

[twiztidwrista10 3]

Ya, there different, but not a whole lot.

[notorious#29 0]

My bad. I thought it was a Lidstrom clone, I should of checked the pattern DB first. Either way, what I posted was my experience with a V120 Lecavalier.

I have a Lidstrom and Lecavalier and the lecavalier lie is slightly lower than the Lidstrom. I like the Lecavalier curve a little better, but its an easy transition between the two.

the vinny is a drury - with a square toe and maybe a different lie. it isnt as much like the lidstrom as people think. i have a vinny for sale or trade. the vinny also has a bit of a rocker to it.

Thank's everyone for your usefull information!

Does the rocker mean that the blade isn't flat on the ice?

[twiztidwrista10 3]

Yea, its curved or "rockered".

is this the case with the P106 bauer? i have snipped about inch and a bit off the top to get it the right length.. the tape was wearng out on the heel

[Fredrik 0]

You may need a lower lie?

[London27 0]

cant - got ordered in for me and i cant change it.. i thought it was a 6 but someone mentioned that they thought it was a 5 but rockered... i was using a modano which is a 5.

What a shame. I like the blade making contact with the ice, as flat bottom as possible, and i would like a lie 6 slightly or moderat open faced long blade with a square toe...how about the Pronger curve (RBK)?

That sucks :(

Lie 5 is pretty low though...

Man i hate those rockered blades

[London27 0]

yeah - like i said - i cant change it so im stuck... i will be alright - it just takes adjusting time eh - had a HORRIBLE traning last night.. hahahah couldnt handel anything!

Didnt want to start a new reply but how is the yzerman jr compared to the hosa and hull?

thanks

[London27 0]

this the hossa is ment to be more like a modano/forsberg... but im not sure about JR blades

[lesterhenson 0]

Does anyone here play with a senior hossa? Does it "play" more like a heel or a mid curve?
