P88 vs p92

Recommended Posts

I started that transition a couple of months ago.

Wrist shots will have a lot more loft. You'll have to probably make an adjustment on backhanders too.

Controlling your passing will take an adjustment. Receiving passes will be a little trickier.

I've found the P92 is more of a benefit to shooting more than anything else vs the P88.

Agreed with the loft-aspect. I just changed from a P88 to P92 (all they had left, and have been meaning to try one). Found dishing saucer passes easier, but I have to consciously think about my shots a little more, which is tricky in a pressure situation. Overall it's not a massive transition though, and most things are not extremely dissimilar.

Bumping an old thread I just purchased a new stick with a P92 Lie6 curve.  I have been using the P88 forever.  I usually cut 2.5 inches off my P88 sticks.  Should I leave the P92 longer? Cut it the same? Cut it shorter? I know with the rockers they play slightly different.  Looking for advice.

I recently tried a P92..whilst going through a "try another different blade phase". I would say shooting with a p92 feels a bit easier..but i felt the blade itself was a bit longer then the P88. 

I felt even though the P92 and P88 are listed as the same lie, the P88 does play a bit lower. However my p88 and p92 are both the same length.

 I ended up back with my P88 because i felt more comfortable with passing and stick handling with it. For me, the P92 was a good blade but, i felt my passing, backhands and stickhandling were much crisper.

@sss1987 I appreciate the feed back.  I have been using the P88 for about 17 years or so, and I just wanted to try a P92 for no other reason then to just try it.  

When you cut your sticks did you cut them to be the same height?

I literally tried the P92 for the same reason tbh..because generally in England, the shops will carry P92/other sakic clones, but P88s are generally an order in. 

Both my P88 and P92 are cut at the same height. Funnily enough, i cut the P92 down after a couple of sessions with it, until i found the height at which i was happy with. I was pleasantly surprised that when i compared it to the P88, that they were both the same height.
