Want a great all around curve

Recommended Posts

Right now i'm using a Naslund on my 30 lite, an Iginla on my Stealth and I tried out a Forsberg blade on my 2 peice.

With the naslund I feel like I can't shoot low, I send everything high, but I like the length of the blade

With the iginla I feel like I can shoot anywhere but the blade is so damn short that I hate the stickhandling with it

With the forsberg I love the stickhandling but the shooting, not so much.

so I guess what i'm asking is what is a curve thats going to allow me to do basically everything well.

Thanks.

Then why are you bitching about your curve. the change from an iginla to a forsberg shouldn't be enough that you worry about it.

Your looking for the same thing as me....

A neutral face sakic. (and in my case a 5 lie)

Alas there's isn't any retail curve that fits that bill, and I haven't found it in a prostock curve yet.

You could get it made custom from either ballistik or christian in wood/composite.

Try the #5 from christian. Ever so slightly longer than an iginla when I compared.

Recchi is like a more neutral face mid/mid toe curve, worth a shot.

TOo be truthful i suffered the same thing as him, and I went to a recchi and I love it so far, a little tougher going shelf from in close but nothing worth worrying about

Well somewhere down the line you'll have to compromise.

i'd look at the Robitaille curve...it's not as flat as an Iginla, but it's longer. Or look at the Nash, a lot of people think it's got a bit less loft than the Sakic.

Personally I'd love a 3/8" mid curve with the profile of a Forsberg, but that won't happen.

CCM Recchi X 3.

I just got one; good all around mid curve: longer blade, curve not too deep, blade face not too open, lie is 5.25. I'd give it a shot.

lie is a 6 on the v10

Nope. I have a Vector 10.0 and it's definitely a 5.25. HM lists it as a 5, but it's slightly more.

Wow that's some douche-y slang for the XXX Lite.

Vapor XXXX = Vapor 40

Vapor XXX = Vapor 30

XXX Lite = 30 Lite

as for recchi I thought about that which is a shame that easton and bauer don't have something comparable to it because those are the two I have right now and I love them.

Warrior Robitaille. 1/2" mid curve slighty open, but not as much as the Sakic, 5 lie. Best curve on the market for me. Sundin/Brendl/Afinogenov is similar, just a bit deeper.

Try Harrow sports, go to hockey and custom sticks and blades. There's a form to fill out, and you have to buy 6 blades. Fill out the form for exactly what you want, and there you have it your custom stick blade that has everything you want.
