Sande's "The Show" Curves

[Lufria 1]

Question for anyone else that's a drury curve fanatic like me -

I'm about to buy one of the The Shows in a Curve 33, which lists as "like Drury"

Anyone else have one, and know if it's actually close to a drury, or much more?

click on "view blade patterns"

I have a pair of Dukes (Curve 22), 33 looks similar with a more open face

You can also email Gary @ gary.sande@sandehockey.com. He was pretty responsive to my emails.

Elwood,

How is the quality of the sticks, and could you please upload a pic of the blade in profile (I'm very intrested in the construction and performance).

Pretty sure I've seen a chart with these numbers somewhere else...

22 = Modano

33 = European curve (dunno which, not montreal euro!)

88 = Sakic

Drury Clone should be #77 , which they don't offer apparently.

Top to bottom - Bauer V - PM9 "Hossa"

Easton Synergy Grip - "Modano" (PM9)

Sande The Show - Curve 22 "Like Modano"

Quality is great. They are light but tank solid. I broke one but only because it got torqued between a forward's shins and our goal post and I was stupid and didn't let go.

I think the Synergy is a hair better at shooting and feel, but of all my other sticks (Bauer V, Hex-1, Toxic 12k, RBK 4k, Easton "Silver Tip", blah blah) the Sande is second only to the Easton.

I've had a few of the heatseekers, but i'm quite positive the picture isn't that close to the drury. The last drury i had was about a year or two ago and was really more of a hook then a drury. That's why i ask now.

Great sticks, and Gary's the best when it comes to taking care of people. I just wanted to know from other players if it was close.

Elwood, could you please upload the pic to www.pictiger.com or some other service, the one you've uploaded has never worked (at least in my browser).

Cheers.

I think I fixed the image. :)

I use IE, and on my screen it's been (and still is) depicted as a "Red X".

Weird.
