why are the tps messier & nash curves both listed as deep?

[SickLife 2]

deep mid for mess & deep mid-toe for nash. both of them have nearly no curve at all. & now i've bought both sight unseen.

its very odd.

No curve at all? Not everyone needs a banana blade.

They have a fair bit of curve IMO.

of course not everyone needs a banana blade. but i figure if it says 'deep' it's gotta be atleast half inch.

it has some curve, it'd call it slight, def not deep.

the nash is even less.

are those wood or composites?

looks like wood

[TBLfan 25]

the nash is bigger than that curve in the pic. I can't think of the messier curve right now but I do believe it's a bigger curve too.

The blades are probably wood and we all know how retail curve consistency is in wood blades.

Take a picture of the nash curve and give us the specs, I'm sure you can find someone to buy one if not both from you.

That doesn't look like wood to me....definitely composite.

[TBLfan 25]

it does look a little thin for wood.

that looks like less of a curve than my forsberg i have had a messier before and it had a lot more curve than that

also on the PATTERN DB it says its a mid, deep curve 1/2" and short blade. That blade from the picture looks pretty long and it actuallly looks exactly like a forsberg/modano/hossa

[SickLife 2]

the one in the pic is a composite. the nash blades i have (i got 2 off a member here) are wood cause i wanted something for a tapered shaft i have no use for, figured i'd just use it for outdoors if i could get a cheapish blade. but i can't handle not having a curve.

anyway. my point is, they're def not 'deep', right?

[James 0]

not deep at all (if u didnt already read the update)

forsberg is a Mid-Heel Slight 3/8" Slightly Open

that and my forsberg look identical

i can't exactly complain to hockeymonkey for listing it deep though i guess.

the nash woodies i have are pretty much the same, but the curve is more towards the toe, still not much at all though :-/

how far is ur lhs from u? thats why i dont buy stuff online and because i have 2 lhs one is actually at the rink that i play at so thats a good thing because for example if i broke 2 sticks i could run up real quick and get a wood stick to finis the game.

[Chadd 916]

The angle in both pics makes it look smaller.

the 07 tps catalogue says the nash is a "small heel curve".

maybe they changed it?

You could always heat n bend the woodies. Make 'em mirror the kovy lol

I just started using a tapered combo outdoors with a wood blade (Mission Pro L-2 cut for tapered + mission ether wood blade) and I'm liking it.

nm.

[Jason 65]

That doesn't look like the messier retail curve. You sure it's not a pro stock blade?

[Chadd 916]

What Messier is RH? Pro stock would say P11

I believe the term deep refers to the depth of the curve from the center line, not the amount of curve in inches. A deep curve actually recesses into the oposite side wheras a shallow curve just curves away from center line.

[Jason 65]

I wasn't thinking when I said that Chadd.

You may be on to something mreeves. I've never had confirmation of that, but that is what I thought depth was. Can anyone elaborate on that?

I did see a R2 XN10 with a Messier blade and the blade was like a Thornton, Yzerman type blade. Deep Curve. Now I have seen some wooden blades (TPS Crossfire)and the Messier matches up with the P88 Lindros. Soft Mid Curve and the Tkachuk matches up with the Modano,Forsberg blades.

yeah. i tried the heat gun > door jam bending thing. didn't work too great, but since i have 2 nash woodies, i may as well try doing that.

I thought that the slight, moderate and deep referred to how quickly it achieves it's curve depth on the blade. I've seen all three depths listed for 1/2" curves, so I thought a deep would be a sudden sharp curving whereas a slight would have the length of the blade curved to achieve the 1/2".

Can anyone validate what I'm saying, or correct?
