Drury curve

[dpark 0]

Hi All! I know the curve topics were listed many times, but I am still wondering.

Currently, I am Defence and use Lidstrom curve(P02 / Jovanovski). However, my cos wants to trade sticks with me. He wants to switch to Lidstrom (We use same sticks, SL, his stick is newer one). Well... everyone I know has NO idea about

Drury curve. So, My question is which curve is able to elevate the puck higher??

EDT: Oh, I mean I perfer the curve, which can go higher.

Its mainly technique...but i would say lidstrom would elevate it higher.

what do you mean?

Well you're looking for a curve to get the puck higher, plus you sound relatively new to hockey (judging from your posts) so I'm guessing control is not part of your arsenal.

well... most of time on ice, my coach wants to me just stay one spot and shoot a puck (I think). Additinally, I'm not like a guy who do all the stick-handling everytime.

In hockey you dont stand still and shot pucks the whole time. You need to do stick handling sometimes. And you dont want the puck to go high, you want your shots to go as low as possible, so 1) they can be tipped in by your forwards and 2) you dont hurt anyone.

Yeah, the only two people I've ever heard of that stayed stationary and shot were Mario Elie and Fulton Reed. Seeing as how one was in the NBA and the other is fictional, I'd have to question your coach's tactics.

About number two i mean if you can put it where you want it it's not a problem to put it high if you know you can hit where your aiming at.

Another guy that stood still was the master of the knuckle puck.

the bottom line is, if you're playing defense, you want to get your shots just off the ground, but keep them low.

Yea, your playing time could be on the line too.

If your defense and out there shooting risters neck high----you will not be the favored player on the power play.

Why would you want to shoot wristers on a power play playing d? lol

when I first switched to a drury my wristshots got a lot of loft.. a little to much.. but after a few shots you get used to the curve. slapshots/snapshots never really had any height issues after the switch.

If it makes any difference I've gone with the lidstrom and have found that to be the best curve for me. drury was a little tougher to stick handle with.

if you can't lift the puck up with a lidstrom...then you need more practice man!

The only time I use a Lidstrom is when on the PK. Up and out. Rest of the time it's a Recchi.

I thought that was Fulton?! Or was it Russ (Kenan Thompson)? :P

On a more serious note, through my technique of shooting, I feel it's easier to lift the puck with the Drury.
