Can you find the lie of pro stock sticks?

I've been watching ebay and other places lately for decent deals on sticks, usually pro stock, but the trouble is that even when I find a good deal on a high end stick, I have no idea what lie the stick has.

Im more sensitive to having the correct lie than I am to the actual curve pattern. I've found that if the lie is higher than 5, I have more trouble controlling pucks.

I mean, I can usually see from the photo whether its a curve I can use or not, but is there any way to determine the lie on these sticks? I realize that these are custom sticks and can change from one batch to another for a specific player, but wondering if there is a list somewhere of which lie a player typically uses. I doubt such a thing exists, but doesnt hurt to ask...

I did try to do a site search as well as a google search and didnt come up with much....thanks.

The lie is not listed anywhere on pro stocks, try contacting the lister to see if they can try to feel it out for you (Obviously not 100% accurate, but probably better than guessing)

I normally do that for my customers, and relate everything to Easton lies, as I find them to be the most accurate. Haven't had a complaint with my method yet.

It is safe to assume that the H-# patterns are the same lie as their retail counterparts

Thanks for the reply Josh. I kind of figured that would be the case. That is one really nice thing about buying a stick through an outlet like yours, people such as yourself who are knowledgeable and wanting to help. Asking an Ebay seller a question is a crapshoot.

Since I like the easton heatley curve, I bought a couple of pro stock heatleys and they were true to the retail lie although the curves were quite a bit different, almost Datsuk-like but with the easton 5 lie.

I see quite a few of these pro stock sticks out there on the interweb at decent prices, but I'm leery of spending a bunch of money for a stick that doesnt fit me. If only I had the skill to match my taste in sticks..

There is no industry standard to measuring lie and I never trust what is stamped on the sticks. When i'm buying a new stick I always bring in one of my existing ones to compare the lie.
