BIG toe curve

[Krev 86]

Nice curve there. I'm not a big fan of the larger curves, but that one looks pretty sweet.

Does this count... or is it too much mid?

It is a Malkin pro. I think its prior owner had some pics up at one point.

Just because I rock it doesn't mean that I can aim it. Damn thing rips the puck, though. 107 flex.

Thanks Mack, would love to try that out. I've been hunting down another Nike Hejduk for years without success...

if you want a malkin meat hook in righty just make a cardboard template of the blade shape and flip a pic of the curve and send that to christian or ballistik to get some customs made....if you do i would be interested :]

[phunky_monkey 6]

If I'm going to send it to Christian then I'll just get my Hejduk copied instead. I no longer use it so I can do this one day.

looks similar to a warrior smyth

or maybe a coffey

[mack 44]

Closer to a Coffey since that Kovy is nothing near a toe curve.

anyone see the new Gionta in person?

[Scotty 8]

Yep. It's pretty decent for a retail toe.

JR posted a great picture. Link

I will do a comparison picture of a Kovalchuk pro this weekend.

Thanks! I like that a lot! Might have to either pick up an ak27 and blade with that curve or a dolo 110flex in that curve. I think it could grow on me.

Looks alot like a Smyth, more hook though. Hard to tell when its a lefty.

Kovalchuk pro vs retail Gionta. The picture looks a bit closer than it actually is. The lie is lower on the Gionta, obviously the toe is differently shaped. The Gionta pattern is similar but not as drastic as the Kovalchuk, it's a noticeably smaller pattern.

[HattrickSwayze 3]

Interesting. I dono, to me though it still just doesn't seem like a total toe curve. I picture something like Hossa's curve when I think of a toe curve. Looks good for a retail one though. Did you spray something on the Gionta blade? It looks textured, or is it just the lighting?
