I want to get a Warrior Mac Daddy stick http://www.hockeymonkey.com/warrior-hockey...07-sr-grip.html

i was wondering if anyone knows what the closest blade to the Reebok Bergeron stick? http://www.hockeymonkey.com/rbk-hockey-stick-7k-red-sr.html

thanks

Warrior doesn't have a really great closed mid like the Bergeron P30, closest is probably Robitaille, but you'd be going down in lie, slightly opening the face and not quite as much depth.

thanks thats what i was thinkin Robitaille or smyth, whats lie exactly?

It's the angle of the blade relative to the shaft. Higher lie (P30 is listed as 6) will be more upright, lower lie (Robitaille is 5) will be more flat.

You can adapt to the different lie by using a slightly longer stick, getting more knee bend to get you slightly lower to the ice, or keeping the puck further from your body.

Some people are very picky with the lie, some people can use just about anything. The difference in angle between 6 and 5 is only a few degrees, but you may notice the heel of your stick making less contact with the ice than you're used to if you don't properly adapt. This can lead to the toe wearing down faster, but once again you can try and adapt your style and stick to suit the new lie.
