For you sakic users

Where does your stick come to you on skates? I know everyone skates different and all, but I can average the heights because I want to see if I am using it correctly

[djinferno 2]

Mouth for me but I like mine a tad longer for slapshots

It's a preference thing...

The average of everyone else may not be the choice for you.

[Miike 1]

I'm 6'2'', and on skates it comes to about 2-3 inches under my chin.

Since we both use heel curves, Kovy, I hate to say it but I almost fell in like with a Sakic-ish pattern this week when I was at my brother's practise.

[kovalchuk71 212]

LOL, the same thing happened to me mack. Using a friends vector and I could pretty much snipe with it. The feel was amazing too, so I went and bought one of those damn 90.00 vector 10.0 blades (I hate my friend now)

Where did it come up to you on skates?

[mack 44]

I had a stick that was about to break so I had my brother grab one of mine from home. He grabbed the right pattern name, just the obnoxiously curved version. I got it, used it and I have to say I'm liking it. I'm going to curb that though because I think it's still a banana.

someone needs to make a sakic with a 5 or lower lie. as far as length goes i would look at the bottom of your blade and check the wear areas. if its at the heel make it shorter; the toe, longer.

[kovalchuk71 212]

but its rockered, so wouldnt more wear want to be on the heel ish area?

[chippa13 1844]

Just experiment with lengths until you find the one you're comfortable with.

YES!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

my sticks about 1" lower than my chin, when im not in skates its just barley below the tip of my nose. It's perfect for me that way.

It's All Personal preferance...

Sakic needs a lower lie......

[Cavs019 710]

I used sakic at my chin.......the real question is how many times are you going to go through every easton curve, come back to sakic, and repeat the cycle? :D

[KYHockey3 0]

i am a die hard sakic fan and i like my sticks long, like eye level.

[Ville 0]

I'm 6'3" and my sakic is 3 inches below my chin.

[mack 44]

I picked up a XXX Lite Naslund and I don't know it relates to the Sakic in lie, but I'm 6'5" and this comes between my moobs.

How can you shoot like that? Mine is at chin level and I still have some problems with the lie.

[Sticks of Fury 0]

About chin level. I get better accuracy with a shorter stick and with the sakic. I used to have it near my mouth/nose but couldn't shoot with confidence at that height.

Love the Sakic curve, discovered it about 3-4 months ago after using Jagr curve for ages. My stick generally sits about 1 inch below my chin. This has always been the most comfortable length since the age of about 17. Best cut/length IMO for shooting, passing, poking and most importantly shooting.

[The Webster 0]

Mine is about at the tip of my nose,

I just CBA to get it cutt down yet :P
