Rick Nash Pro Curve

[mmhky_11 0]

Does anyone know what type of curve Rick Nash uses? Any pictures would also be great thanks.

[Chadd 916]

I saw a couple of them at Perani's a month or so ago. Seems like it was a healthy heel or mid-heel with some loft.

its real nice. It was a mid heel with a "little" loft. And his blade is pretty small.

[Chadd 916]

Not much different than a Tucker retail, according to "sources".

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

naw, tucker retail is much more open then the nash.

Dosn't Nash's curve have a fairly high lie to it as well? I remember hearing this a the All-Star skills comp.

Ya, because of how long he likes his stick, he needs a high lie. I think they mentioned it when he was doing the puck handling relay.

that doesn't make sense to me. my experience has always been you would need a lower lie for a longer stick. since the blade would be farther away from you, the angle of the shaft to the blade would be lower. a shorter stick would be closer to the body and would need a more upright lie.

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

That is true, but nash might like a longer stick, but with a high lie. Instead of a shorter stick with a high lie. btw, as staed before, his blade is small too.

[Chadd 916]

The exact description I was given was "a modified Tucker, a little smaller and it doesn't open up as much". I would expect that the lie is similar.

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

Yep. Thats how I described it. But I am not sure about the lie.

[Chadd 916]

Tucker isn't a mid-heel

Nash does use a fairly high lie. I remember one of the guys from the CBC saying he asked him when they were here to play the Canucks. Maybe Marcelo can end all of the guessing here.

My last three answers weren't guesses.

I'm talking about what exactly Nash uses. You know what I mean dogg :P

[JR Boucicaut 3799]

My posting will be few and far between, for many reasons. However, I like what is being done here.

Chadd wasn't guessing.

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

ok. When I was at peranis, the curve was a mid-with a little bit of loft.

[Chadd 916]

The one I saw at Perani's wasn't like the one you saw or the one he actually uses. No idea what they were.

Maybe GTHL saw Tyson Nash's pattern.

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

which peranis did you go to/call?

[Chadd 916]

Maybe GTHL saw Tyson Nash's pattern.

He doesn't have one, I checked.

if that's the case and tyson doesn't have his own pattern, then i saw a couple of nash's regular responses at a total hockey in st. louis last year. i agree with chadd's despcription of the curve. side note though, one of the three i saw had a ruff rubber coating on the blade. like it was dipped in that truck bed rhino lining or something. kinda cool.

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

no i made sure it was RICK NASH. i asked the guy there, which nash the stick was.

We were talking about Rick Nash's pro curve, not the retail Nash curve.
