BASE Hockey Stick Lies

[xiaozhoux 0]

Hello,

I am currently debating whether to order a BASE stick because being such a low skater, I have been searching for a lie 4 for a while - but to no avail. My question is whether BASE actually produces a true lie 4, or whether they scale their lies like Warrior does? I am planning on ordering the BM12. Has anyone ordered a Lie 4 from BASE? All Input and comments are appreciated.

Thanks!

Their fours are real fours. I have two lie four BM12 Savoys.

Im not sure about the 4 but I got a 5 and its legit. My base stick came in two weeks ago, its the best stick ive ever owned

Agree with above. Not warrior scale. More like easton scale.

is their lie 6 like an easton 5.5? i want to order a bm09 in the same lie as my p91a which is a 5.5 but they dont have the option for a 5.5. they only offer 4,5 and 6.

Not quite sure if the lie 6 is like a 5.5 in Easton. Only assuming it's close.

If the 5 and 4 are accurate, as people in this topic have claimed them to be, then the 6 is probably pretty accurate as well.

True. So I guess I just need to order one and compare. Eastons 5.5 is like a bauer 6 so that's where my confusion is.

what do you mean by warrior scale's their lie's

You would typically add 1 to any of Warrior's listed lies. This is because they use a different scale/method of measuring lies, and why it appears they offer a lie 4 when it is actually a 5. Thanks for all the comments - I've just ordered my base stick and am excited to say the least!

This is not true for all warrior blades. I really wish people would stop repeating false information.

Warrior 4-easton 5

Warrior 5-easton 5.5

Warrior 6-easton 6

Wow, and directly after Chadd's post....

Yep, and people wonder why I get so frustrated at times. A lot of people don't want to have to think, they just want a simple formula, even if it's wrong.

This has been my observation with every warrior blade I've used for 4 years. May not be true for every warrior blade ever made in history.

Bump..

Also curious to know how the BASE BM09 6 lie compares, in lie, to the Bauer P92..

Anyone on the board have a BM09 6 lie in their possession?!

I ended up purchasing a different curve, but I've been to their facility in Burnaby and compared their lie 6 Sakic clone to the retail Sakic curve I brought in, and the lies were the same. While Easton list most of their standard curves as 5.5 lie, Bauer list the same curves as a 6 lie, so it seems like they measure lie very similarly to Bauer (for example, the Bauer P92 and Easton Sakic have the same lie, but Bauer calls it a 6 lie, while Easton calls it a 5.5). If you buy a lie 6 curve from them, the lie will probably be pretty similar to that of a standard (lie 6) P92 or P91A, though of course the rocker could be dramatically different depending on what curve you buy.
