so the question is - if this is part 1 - what is part 2?

All three parts were merged into one topic

thanks Chadd. I know that if you post too many pics at once, it gets kicked back. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the pictures! It's interesting to see the assortment of flexes the pros are using. Wow P.Kane at 107? Malkin 112? Ovie 77 (remembered him using a low flex), Latendresse 122? Hossa's curve :o Very cool, thanks again.

Malkin's WC 40's are siiiick. I'd kill for a pair of all black 40's or X:60s like those. (They look even better than the LE X:60).

Agreed, they would be a total knockout with black laces too.

Who's got the deepest curve? Is it just me or does the hossa look like a thornton retail?

[DarkStar50 679]

Not even close.

[farhanshak 1]

malkins 40 are nicer than kanes imo

[SouthpawTRK 1]

Yes, it is 77 flex.

OV's stick order will average about 48. The Pro Stock Manager pointed out he can break 3 in a game so it's no wonder the order quantity is high.

You wouldn't believe your eyes even if you saw this curve in person.

Also features a sandpaper grit finish applied to the blade.

From the Department of Old News:

Malkin's Winter Classic Vapor 40 Skates.

Thanks for the amazing photos of your collection of Bauer Pro Stock sticks!!! A couple of questions if you don't mind me asking? First, how much stiffer is Ovie's Pro Stock 77 compared to a retail grade 77 flex? Secondly, you mentioned that Ovie's blade had a sandpaper grit finish (is that possibly why Ovie looks like he only tapes about 3/4 of the blade?). Lastly, out of curiosity, what's your favorite out of the collection?

Those are some awesome pictures!

Does anybody know what the closest retail pattern would be to the Malkin curve?

[TBLfan 25]

Dude, don't ya see the displays in the pictures? It's a showroom.

You can tell it's not his because everything shown was made after 1970. :P

My bad, I guess I was too busy drooling over the Pro Stock sticks :)

Is hossa's curve a heel, mid and toe curve with loft?

I took this picture from the red wings gear store at the joe.

Seems like someone would have the hardest time stickhandling with it.

I have a bunch of these, getting used to playing with that hook took about one session on the ice... Like anything, with time, you'll adjust to it. :)
