what type of curve and flex and stick does the capitals center use?

[vaporboy12 0]

He is using a 95 flex. I would say its a mid-heel curve, blade is got a grit texture to it. I have 6 of them from last season which is one95's with a g3 custom kick. He is now using a x60 since the season started.

He's Swedish.

wow, the curve is surprisingly close to the p92, a little more closed, but pretty darn close. I can't think of anyone else whose retail curve is actually close to their real curve.

Koho Sundin, original Bauer Lindros and (I think) the CCM Lecavalier.

where were you able to get 6 of his sticks?

[jsykes 35]

Has anyone seen one of his current sticks though? I havent, but I thought I read somewhere that him and Semin have gone to more of an Ovi style curve as they've played with him and tried it out.

I have seen his current sticks. They're still a very mild curve similar to the picture from above. Semin has always had a hook on his blade.

what is g3 custom kick?

[furlanitalia 1]

On prostock bauer sticks they will have a letter under the flex denoting the shaft profile. the complete chart is under the flex chart but G3 means a custom flex profile meaning the player may have wanted the top stiffer than the bottom (a la lower kick point then a standard one95).

I got a 6 pack of them from pure hockey I emailed them and they helped locate some directly from bauer! The real Backstrom curve opens up a bit more at the heel compared to the retail p92. Also the prostocks seem to have reinforcement at the bottom of the shaft I guess for faceoffs.

God, I don't have the faintest idea why I even thought he was from Russia ... Sorry for that :o

Wow, I may have to have you ask them if they can do the same for a pack of Hossa sticks. They're impossible to find and I'm addicted to the curve. Thank you for that useful bit of information.

Just because your "PHEW" style thread got locked there is no reason to clutter the rest of the threads with useless posts. It is just showing the immaturity that gets that Facebook group such awful reception here and elsewhere.

I found a broken one and a signed bauer 3000. If you found something else I'd appreciate a link.
