Curves that disappeared

Recommended Posts

I've been looking all over Ebay and the sell section here and I cannot find a Gaborik curve to save me life. What the hell happened to it? Why did Easton remove it? Or did they just rename it because I can't find any current easton curve similar to it.

Coffey or Kovalchuk are the only things I have found close.

I tried the NikeBauer Lindros and the CCM Thorton but found the lie to be too much for me. I love the deep curves but the lie of a stick and the flex patern seem to be the most important parts for me.

What was the lie on the Gaborik? I don't remember but I really liked it.

I really like the current Smyth curve warrior is putting out. The lie is 4, I'm really into it.

Most companies have gassed their respective wicked deep curve at retail level. You can go custom, or find a shop with older inventory.

Thats the best bet... I know alot of guys on my team go to our LHS because they have so much older inventory so they can sometimes find gaboriks and every once and awhile a yzerman if they are lucky.

+1 for the Yzerman... I don't remember it being as big of a curve as Gaborik's... of course mine were from the early to mid 90's.

Gaborik was a 5.5 lie if I'm not mistaken.

A Gabo/Shanny side-by-side. RIP indeed.

That Gaborik Stealth was the best stick I have ever used. I just got a Gaborik SL off Ebay for $180 about a month ago.

The Yzerman curve seemed to get bigger when it went from wood to composite.
