Diffs PM9 and P106

[mew1838 0]

I just can't figure out the diffs between these 2 curves as I have never seen them. Which one is more open? Better for handling/Shooting. I'm currently using the P88 but would like a more open face.

p106 is more open. pm9 is bauer's modano clone.

Whats the diff between curve depth and size?

The P106 is a moderate heel curve, while the PM9 is a slight mid-heel curve. The Pattern DB list the P106 as a 1/2 in. curve and the PM9 as a 3/8 in. curve.

I currently own each, and the PM9 is as straight as they come. The blade itself seems "short" too compared to most, if that makes any sense.

Sorry but is curve depth= curve size?

no

Mew,did you look at the Pattern DB yet? It should answer your questions, it is a very straight forward chart. If you want an open curve with NBH get the P92.

I just don't understand the diff between curve depth and size

Yeah...just what is the difference between curve depth and curve size?

I understand curve size (from the NHL rulebook):

"The curvature of the blade of the stick shall be restricted in such a way that the distance of a perpendicular line measured from a straight line drawn from any point at the heel to the end of the blade to the point of maximum curvature shall not exceed one-half inch (1/2")."

So that leaves curve depth?

how do I find the pattern data base.

Look on the menu bar at the top of the screen...you'll see rules, help, search etc... Just click on PATTERN DB and it'll open for you.

The PM9 is a Modano clone and the P106 looks similar to a lidstrom curve.

p106 is nothing like a lidstrom. just picture a bigger modano, slightly opened, and with a slightly longer blade.

What is Bauers closest to an Easton Yzerman curve? I'm thinking of getting a couple of 7500 tapered blades for some Dolomite shafts...

Thanks for the correction, its been awhile since of looked at either of the curves. For some reason I remembered them being similar.

106 is much deeper and more open than a modano, closer to a sakic.

Can anyone offer any insight into the size vs. depth question?

I too have wondered what exactly depth meant. I thought it referred to whether the curve created a "pocket" (so to speak) for the puck. Some large curves don't have much of a pocket, yet other more moderate curve have a pocket. It seems like if the heel lined up with the toe when you are looking down at the blade that it makes more of a pocket. If the toe extends further out to one side then their isn't much of a pocket. Other than that I don't really see the difference between depth and size.

Anyone?

[Chadd 916]

Essentially you're correct, a curve with a bigger "pocket" is deeper. It's obviously easier to have a deeper pocket with larger curves.
