yea on the old mac daddys on hockeymonkey they list it as Robitaille/Kovalchuk as a choice. But i dont remember the robitaille stick being that deep of a curve, if anyone has a pic of a new kovalchuk please post so i can see what it looks like for sure, thanks

I have a couple of each at home, exactly the same. Will post pics for you later this evening.

Not the same:

Kovalchuk:

Robitaille:

Robitaille curves more throughout the blade while the Kovalchuk is kinked. Robitaille opens up a bit while the Kovalchuk stays closed. Kovalchuk is a bit deeper and the curve is a bit more towards the toe.

^ wow, I coulda swore they were identical. Thanks Jarick

How much deeper is the Kovalchuk than a Federov/Modano clone? Sounds and looks like it's essientially a closed p92/draper.

so i guess you have used both right, do they feel similar? im currently using the draper curve and i feel like it makes my shots too high sometimes, when i use my reebok bergeron that has the curve like kovalchuk i can keep my slapshot low and hard. Draper is good for wrist shots cuz its got that lift on curve

I have used both the kovalchuk and robitaille, and I didn't personally notice a difference in either one, probably why I thought they were identical. I liked the curve.

The profile of the Kovalchuk has changed then. Jarick, how old is that Kovy? We have a bunch of Kronik's at work with Kovalchuk's and the blade looks identical to the Robitaille you showed, with a similar curve (Kind of looks like the Robi but closed like the Kovy).

You have any of the new Dolomite Double D sticks at work?

[GimpIndustries 1]

my kovi and robi's are from '08....may be why i thought they were identical. Again, will take pictures later this evening when I am home from work. What are you looking for kpeach?

[kpeach122 0]

wanna get a new Double D Dolomite Clear, just doing my research on what curve to get

If you get one can you do a review on it?

Yeah the pattern was the same when they were initially labeled as Kovalchuk. Then it changed this year..I was told by a warrior rep that it is "more like the lindros now"

'08 curves pictured below, kovalchuk on left, robitaille on right. exactly the same

Sorry about the quality, taken with my phone

Robitaille was from 07, Kovalchuk from 09 (Dolo HD).
