troy 12 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 On most new XXX Lites, I think all the NBH branded ones, the PM9 pattern is named St. Louis and a Forsberg/Modo clone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 in new NBH (2006) St. Louis is the PM9 which is a forsberg clone. P71 is a mid, and was known as the Clarck and the Peca previously. With NBH, you need to pay more attention to the letter-number codes than names, as they change names from one code to another from time to time.edit: nbh lists a higher lie on the pm9 (6, as opposed to easton's 5), but it's the same (5) in the pattern db. I'm trading for a vapor xxx this week, so i'll be able to compare the lies when I get it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 the St.louis your thinking of the the pm9 (which is the modano). THe p71 is a totally different curve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoquyguy 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Actually, the PM9 is NOT exactly like the Modano, but is more of a slight mid curve with a slightly open face. If anything, it is similiar to the Warrior Federov curve. But the lie is indeed a 5, not 6 as listed by other online retail sites. If you are looking for a good 5 lie blade, also look into the Easton Heatley curve. A deeper mid curve than the PM9, but a closed face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Ok, but I mean its as close as youll get with bauer. And it is pretty damn close to the modano. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeytim18 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Is the St. Louis closest to a Sakic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troy 12 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 No, that would be P92, which I think is still Naslund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are looking for a good 5 lie blade, also look into the Easton Heatley curve. A deeper mid curve than the PM9, but a closed face. I agree. That's why I like the PM9 so much better than the Modo/Forsberg. I also think the PM9 is a little longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
