Coffey Curve replacement blades?

[chapel 20]

AFAIK, Sher-Wood is the only Coffey curve, correct?

I'm getting a set of Easton Ultra Lite shafts and need blades to go with them. What would you guys suggest?

[sickwilly 37]

HM has some Combat 52 Cal blades in "CC". The price is right, too.

[chapel 20]

are they any good?

I've heard the Chara curve is similar, but I haven't found any online.

[donkers 31]

Eleven Hockey should be able to whip you up a batch.

[kovalchuk71 212]

I think the Combat blades are very nice. And a good deal at that. I would jump on them.

Bergeron Reebok is a very similar curve. Not sure what the number is called now.

CCM - Hossa

Warrior - Kovalchuk

Reebok - Perron

Bauer - Kane

[kovalchuk71 212]

This could not be anymore incorrect. Those curves aren't even close.

CCM - Hossa

Warrior - Kovalchuk

Reebok - Perron

Bauer - Kane

Really? I have them all in my garage (except the Kane). Would you like me to take a picture? They are all within .5 lie the coffey may be a little deeper but they are all very close.

I hate the coffey pattern, I have a righty taper blade. I just can't get used to the curve and especially the height of the blade

[chapel 20]

I'm also wondering if the coffey pattern is right for me.

I play defence and I rifle shots from the point.

Don't know a whole lot about shafts and blades, but would Sherwood make blades that would be compatible with those shafts you mentioned, or at least, blades that would fit with minor adjustments? Because if they do, then you wouldn't need to worry too much about Coffey clones ;)

From Left:

Perron, Hossa, Kovi, Coffey

Base makes a Coffey curve in right handed for sure. It is not on there web site but I own one. The number and name on the blade are BC04 Bankoske. I don't know that this will help you Chapel because I think Base only makes tapered blades.

While they are all fairly deep mid curves, there are some pretty significant differences between them as well.

Kane / Hossa are both 1/2" I believe, while Coffey is 3/4". Toe shape is also different.

I actually think that while it is a smaller curve, in terms of shape and lie, the Reebok Datsyuk might be the closest to the Coffey.

[chapel 20]

I rarely see a 3/4" mid curve with a square toe.

in fact, I rarely see a 3/4" anymore.

I was using a Coffey and went to a Hossa because of the lower lie. it isn't exactly the same but didn't really feel that different to me and the lie works better for me.

[chapel 20]

well, I went out and bought 3 more Coffey blades and a Lidstrom.

1 Sher-Wood 950 Coffey and 2 Ballistik 52 Cal Coffeys and a single Lidstrom Ballistik 52 Cal

interested to try them out

In a game, I don't get a lot of chances to shoot, so the Lidstrom may be good for playing defence.

I'm more concerned with how it's going to work for passing.

I find passing to be a lot more difficult with deep curves. Then again, I go heel to toe on almost everything, so wedges are perfect for me.

[chapel 20]

I could pass to a moving dime from 100' out with my Coffey. I prefer it.

You can skate on my line, then.

[chapel 20]

I'm thinking the open face of the Lidstrom won't be good for passing. The Coffey is great though. The eurocurve was pretty good too, but they haven't made that since like 94.

You need a very different motion to pass with a wedge. Either is fine for passing, if you use the right mechanics for that blade.

[chapel 20]

I guess I never really thought about it. I just practiced until I could pass properly.
