Lindros/Kane Curve Advice

[Martin88 0]

I’ve been playing competitive hockey with the same curve (Lindros, now Kane) for the past 10 years and am loyal to it.

My only complaint is that I would prefer the blade to be more, if not completely, closed face.

Does anyone know of an identical or similar curve that would suit me?

Thanks.

Maybe the Easton Iginla?

If you can get your hand on one of those Malkin ProStocks.

And I haven't taken a picture yet. But I got my U+ CL in Thornton instead of Tavares and that is pretty close to the Malkin ProStock, other than the square toe..

The pro Malkin and Thornton are way deeper then the P88. The Ignila/Heatley or Warrior Kovalchuk would be closer.

Harrow Pattern 5. More closed, but a bit more shallow.

But he wanted it more closed... which the Iginla is definitely not...

How you figure a iginla isn't similar to a P88(kane/lindros). I think you would like a iginla curve, plus they are easy to come by.

From L to R

Iginla, P88, Malkin Pro, Thronton

Now the OP wanted something more closed than the P88.

Definitely not Iginla.

Case closed.

Than someone should update the Pattern DB as the Iginla is definitly described as having a closed face... unless your wrong of course lol

When shooting thought the iginla being a bit more open makes up for having less curve than the P88.

From what I got from the poster he wanted something similar but more of a closed face. Which would make me think that the P88 tends to put the puck to high for his liking. But I could totally be wrong. My personal preference its easier to get the puck up with a p88 vs a iginla.

So thats what I was basing my suggestion off of.

The curve isn't the one putting the puck high.

You got a torch and clamps? Close the curve yourself.

Thanks for some of the suggestions. I'll look them.

I would love to just use a torch and clamps but that would weaken my composite blade.

I have a torch and clamps

SO

how would I go about closing it?!

you heat it up till it'll bend then clamp it to the "shape" you want it to be is the short version

And reduce your blade life by 50% or more in most cases

Seriously. The epoxy resin in a composite blade has a very controlled curing process that it goes through during manufacturing. An autoclave will typically run at between 250F and 375F. The flame from a propane torch burns around 2000F. Probably not the best thing for your composite blade.

I had nice results using a heat gun going back and forth and front to back about 5mins

on a vapor xxxx one-piece pm9 and also on a vapor xxxx p92 blade.

Both held up nice as far as stiffness and no cracking.

EXCEPT I could not get them to curve the way i wanted them to.

SO - I have thought about trying to straighten it first - then put a new curve on it.

BUT - I am fresh out of anything to experiment on right now.
