Gaborik Curve?

Recommended Posts

I did a search and found 2 pages of nothing specific to my question, also looked @ the pattern db for an answer to no avail.

Question is regarding the Easton Gaborik curve. I notice Gabby is still being used by Easton in their marketing material but not seeing any of his curves on HockeyGiant, HockeyMonkey, IceWarehouse etc., Other than SE6's I cant find this curve anywhere else.

So...did his curve get removed from production or replaced by another name?

as far as I know, they only produce the curve on the se6. Other than that, I believe it has disappeared.

Nope, that meathook is gone. SherWood Coffey curve is its closest living relative.

LOL does it really curve that much? I remember seeing the Yzerman curve and wanting to try it. I guess the two are very similar.

Yzerman became Gaborik.

Ah I see. Well, I picked up an original Stealth from a guy here w/ the Gaborik curve. I have a feeling I'm going to like it so preparing to find some sticks in the same curve if that is the case. Also picked up a Forsberg S17 from him.

Gaborik curve is being re-released on a limited basis on the SE16 only with a different lie. SHould be available June/July along with the Shanahan curve re-named as Cammalleri.

Where did you hear that? If that's true I will quite happy.

Just got the order forms from my sales rep. SE16 only for now based on demand.

So my lhs needs to order a bunch of them, or can I just have them order me one?

From my understanding there is no minimum but I'm not 100% sure how much repeat stock would be available...put a bug in their ear now.

Well, if I like this Stealth I picked up — I'll likely order an SE6 in the same curve. Then — an SE16 down the line :)

Is that lie a 5.5?

If sales are like usual, 50 people will buy them and then they will linger for three or four years until they eventually get cleared out.

I'll be one of those people too. I love that curve, its a long blade that has a nice flat section on the heel to do stick handling and a nice little toe curve that isn't crazy open like most pro stock toe curves out there (cough ovi cough). I've been using sakic clones since i got back into hockey, but it's just not the same. hopefully they make tapered blades because I've been really digging my xn10 shafts.

The current (or in this case old) Gaborik was a 5.5

My bad, I was thinking it was a 6- so what will the new one be, 5 or 6?

Would be cool if Easton did a custom program like Bauer's ID. I'd be very interested in trying a 75 flex Shanahan SE16.

I'll probably be one of the 50, if its exactly like the Shanahan (including the square toe, I love the square toe).

me too love the square toe, i just hate the frigging length on it
