real life comparison

[mm705 0]

can anyone give me a real life comparison between the lecavalier curve on the new vector 10.0 catapults and a lidstrom curve? i know theyre supposed to be "identical," but the lecavaliers i used a little bit last season weren't really that much akin to my lidstroms from easton or jovos from warrior. i only ask because i have a chance to get the ccm sticks at a pretty good price, but i want to make sure im not spending on something i will regret later. thanks for all help.

I believe that the Lecavalier curve has a lower lie than the Lidstrom, that's what it feels like to me anyways.

yeah, the lie is different. and the toe, obviously. I'm a bigtime fan of the lecav, but CCM doesnt make it in any stick i can use... or sell lecav blades in a standard taper.

The lie on the lidstrom isnt right for me, and i messed with the stick length... that stick is way to short now (cut an inch and a half off).

if anyone has some recommendations for similar but more available pattern for me i'd appreciate it... i think someone mentioned a sakic to me? (note, i'm a small guy, so intermediate sticks are my friends)

(sorry for the hijack)

Im not sure anyone has said they are supposed to be Identical. CCM/RBK doesnt do much of the cloning of curves. The Lecavalier is more of a true heel wedge, while the Lidstrom defintely has some more depth to the curve.
