Can anyone suggest a similar curve?

[AWE46M3 0]

Here are some pics:

It's an old Bauer Desjardins. I'm currently experimenting a little with blades and would like to find something similar to this, tapered or non is fine. The profile can be different as well, round toe is fine and a lower lie would be welcomed and composite vs wood doesnt matter; I just want a similar curve. Thanks!

iginla/heatley

looks like my montreal european curve, but i think that opens up a little more in the toe than yours

Yeah, the toe on this one has relatively low loft.

thats a neutral face.

I'd say NBH P88, or the two that TBL suggested.

Weren't the Desjardins blades really long?

[TBLfan 25]

add recchi and hossa/leopold 2 to that... I said iginla and heatley because of the lie and moreso toe. Everything is pretty square.

Weren't the Desjardins blades really long?

looks around 10.5 inch-ish

Well it's more loft then what I've been using, Mission Elias. How is blade length measure, from what point to what point? I can try to measure it right now.

I was considering trying a Hossa or PM9, Recchi I felt more curve...?

Darby, catchall answer :)

^^^^ Who makes this pattern, any pics of it?

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

Warrior Weight, or Robitaille/Kovalchuk if you like a little more curve

Looks similar to a Recci.

is there a P-number for that pattern, i was looking at some older bauer sticks in the basement the other day and i found a P88, P71, and i think it was a P15. it could help on reffering you to a new pattern

Desjardins was P37 if I remember correctly

If you can get a hold of a pro stock Danny Fritsche curve of the CBJ, he used an identical curve to this two years ago. I had one of his pro stocks but sold it to an MSHer, can't remember who it was. The stick I had was a Green ST if that helps.

Yup, I used to use the Desjardins, definitely P37

[AWE46M3 0]

^^^ I was going to list the P number but its not legible on the blade (it was scuffed from use), it was either P37 or 34. Everyone is pointing to 37 so Im sure ya'll are correct. Does Bauer have something similar currently?

I actually have a Desjardins in an old UL and was going to ask the same question a while back, did a double take when I saw your picture. I also use Iginla and Hossa which are very close and Recchi which isn't that far off either without any transition.

[AWE46M3 0]

^^^ Haha Yeah, I found the shaft in my garage the other day and a box of old blades, wheels, gloves, etc and dug the blade out and decided to mess around with it; but like I've said I've been wanting to experiment a bit with new curves.

I looked at the LHS the other day and picked up a Recchi and felt it had a bit much curve for my liking and didnt really like the lie. I think Im going to try a Hossa or PM9; I saw both and they looked good to me. I'll have to take a look at the Iginla though since it's been mentioned a couple times.

[DamnLocust 0]

hossa (mission) is pretty much an iginla clone. heatley is very close, but a lower lie (heatley = 5, iggy = 5.5) PM9 is the same as your elias. (New Mission clone would be Boyes, although the lie is said to be a bit higher)

[AWE46M3 0]

^^^ I looked at PM9 and it look different enough from my Elias to possibly be worth a try. My brother is currently using a Mission Fuel Ti in a Boyes pattern and I messed around with it a little but didn't like it for some reason. Interesting about the Heatley though, I'll have to look at that and the Iginla; is the loft on the Heatley and Iginla also similar?

[thejackal 46]

the lie doesnt look that high on the pic.

[TBLfan 25]

iginla is closed, heatley in neutral.

I posted in another thread earlier about a CNT and made me think of this one I created. Just an update I went out a bought a couple Heatleys to try out and well I can say that my search for a new blade is over after a few months of trying a different curves, shafts, and OPSs. Thanks to think who helped me out, especially those who recommended the Heatley.
