Spezza equivalent curve?

[diehardfan 0]

I love Spezza curve and it seems hard to find and harder to get it on sale.

So, which curves are similar to Spezza's?

Thanks

I know this is going to seem rather unhelpful, however it is the closest I have found to a clone...the old Mission Ribiero is almost identical, but has a square toe and a slightly higher lie. It is also discontinued, which is a bummer. I share your love for the Spezza curve. Fortunately, Sherwood still makes them and you could probably get your LHS to order you some sticks or blades (no sale though).

Disclaimer: All of the above statements are pertaining to the Spezza curve on compostite blades and sticks...the wood version varies slightly, and is more like a heel wedge rather than a heel curve with a gradual curve.

People have referred to the Perry (TPS) as somewhat close to the Spezza.

Good disclaimer, did not know that.

I am using the SWD 5030 Speeza wood stick, this is the stick that made me fall in love with this curve. It is hard to find these stick. But, I am open to composite too.

the prior yr's Spezza wood that I had used for a looong time were a gentle heel, slightly open. I find Mission's Ribeiro is close to those woods I was using, Warrior Weight is what I use now and it's not too far off, but a little different. Sande's pattern 22 (listed as Forsbeg like) is also close as it is a little open compared to Easton/RBK Modo/Foppa patterns.

the warrior weight isnt too far off the spezza, pretty close lie as well.

A NBH Forsberg should be close although slightly less open. I personally use SWD Spezza in my RM9 OPS and in my Z-Bubble shafts (RM9 blades) and love the pattern. You should be able to find them pretty easy also. Try ebay.

Just tried the 5030 Spezza out for the first time Thursday night and scored my first hat trick :D . Too bad you don't live in Cincy. My LHS has about 20 of them (5030s).

Sweet, I wish I had the same luck as you.

I was looking through ebay and noticed that Mission Elias curve is very similar to Speeza, except for LIE. Can someone with real experience confirm?

i think the elias curve is similar to a forsberg/modano, much less open than the spezza...ribiero is the closest from mission, as stated earlier.

BTW, got your PM, i understand...good luck.
