Kovalchuk Bauer

Here it is in all its monstrous fugliness. Sad thing is this crappy pic makes it look even smaller.

Whoa, is that a retail curve?

[mack 44]

Holy shit! I thought the Easton Yzerman and CCM Thornton were big hooks! That just looks rediculous!

[Eazy_b97 1]

You wouldn't happen to have any Yzerman, Thorntons or other hooks to compare it to, would ya Mack? I have a feeling this curve is even worse than I am witnessing.

[mack 44]

A friend has an old UG Yzerman they're going to scrape up to find, that'd the the only pattern anyone I know would have.

How is your shot/stick-stick handling with that curve?

How the F did he snipe when he used that? Or even stick handle? That guy has got SKILLS.

[EBondo 233]

eeeeeewwwwwwwww grosssss....I can't stand big curves, so therefore, eeewwwwww again

[mack 44]

I've tried it a couple times; it's definitely one of the roughest curves I've tried to adjust to. Other than stuffing it in, I don't know how to backhand with this thing.

And this is toned down from the old Nikes he had.

[Pinkfloydspig 0]

That blade is awful ...just thinking of trying to take a backhander with that YIKES !!!

thats the pattern he has on his 1100's.

[Blackthidot 0]

he is probably just used to using it considering his been using that big of a "hook" for YEARS....it does look like you can rip slappers but anything else would be painful to try...

[mack 44]

The wristers are filthy with this thing. That took a bit to get accustomed to, I even tipped my own on one snapper, however the hell that happened. I know Pika's selling the Inno, so I'll try and get lie/profile pics up in sweet sweet 1megapix form.

i use a modo and a drury and that stick makes my stomach sick.lol. i bet your you layed the stick face down you could fit a puck under it .

Now I'm really tempted to see what I can do to Brendl curve. I have to get rid of some of the loft, but damn I have to try to make a bigger curve, now.

[koivulchuk 1]

it finally came...my wife took the pic, i can't wait to see it in person...

like 2048 said...it's just 'beautiful' :P

How does he not get called.

chadd stated it in another post somewhere...he has a legal version as well...(this one i have may be, i haven't seen it yet...) ;)

How does he not get called.

When I was watching a Panthers game, the Cats called an Illegal curve on Kovalchuk and as soon as he heard he skated to the bench and picked up his other stick which is similiar to a Retail Modano. The refs noticed this and said that they needed the other stick in which he used during play. In the end he did get a penalty, but a few games later he came back and scored against them at home and skated by their bench and started rubbing his stick blade right in front of them. :lol:

I wish that I could relate better, being a lefty and all..that still looks tres big though.
