Sakic vs. Jokinen

[sherwood21 0]

Ok, this is the problem. I broke my Synergy a couple weeks ago and have now got: Si-Core, with Synthesis blade that I am using the most recently, A Reebok 6K, an M-1 with a Synthesis Blade, and a Sherwood 5030 with a Crosby Curve. I am getting a Vapor XX for Christmas, and was hoping that someone who has switched from Sakic to a Jokinen (P106) could tell me how easy or not easy it was to switch from the two curves. Also if they felt the same with wrist shots/snap shots. Thanks a lot.

P106 is nothing like a sakic. One is a lofty mid/toe that's real open (sakic) and the other is a moderate heel curve (Joki).

If you're used to snaps wristers with a sakic I think you're going to have some issues with a heel curve. Nothing you won't get used to, but it's not going to be an instant thing.

[Eazy_b97 1]

It'll be close to your Crosby curve (the Jokinen). I make similar switches fairly often as I like loft, but find the Drury to be pretty scarce. It won't be an instant jump, but it's not overly difficult either.

I think that I will just go for the Joki, no use in trying the Lindros because I had that before and hated it. In the Intermediate version of it, it looks a little bit less of a mid-heel curve, and more like a Sakic so I'll give'r a go, and let you know how it is. Thanks for the advice.

pm9 really isnt like a sakic either, the hossa is a modano clone so its a slight mid heel curve. i would say your best bet is to go with a p88. Ive made that switch before and didnt find it very drastic at all.

the naslund is almost dead on to the sakic i compared them at my lhs

When did anyone mention the Naslund?

He's just saying, its called contributing useful information.

if he is comming from a sakic he might want to take bak the jokinen and go for the naslund

[sherwood21 0]

I would but I'm not gonna hit up the 87 flex, the flex is more important to me than what the curve is, and they don't have Naslund in 77.. <_< It's ok though, thanks for the advice.

The TFG PL106 (Jokinen) that I had resembled a Sakic quite a bit, surprisingly. I dunno if they just used to be like that though. I haven't seen any in Vapor XX.

I forgot to mention though, that I haven't played with a Sakic for about two years. I was just saying they looked quite similar.

I've played w/ both curves and i dont' find them similar (referring to the sakic and the p106). I've found that both the shooting and the stickhandling have to be adjusted. Coming from a sakic to a p106(joki, heatley, whatever it is now), you can get off snappers, but it takes some shifts to get a handle on the shot and to keep the puck from flying over the net.

i have 3 bauer 4000 p106 wood blades. they are much much closer to drury as opposed to any sakic ive ever seen. this is why i have to recurve them

Sorry to bring up a "dead" topic but Im having some trouble with my shots rising a little to much with a sakic and Im thinking about trying a heel curve anyway, but would I have just as much trouble with my shots being to high with the p106?

Id try a Hossa, Forsberg, or Lindros instead

i use the jokinen a lot, and none of my shots fly over the net. i've used a sakic, and never really had a problem there either. you should be able to keep them down more with the jokinen then the sakic, as the jokinen's not as open as the sakic curve is.

just try shortening your follow-through, i went from a modano to a drury and found out i can't follow through as much, or high in this case, but love the drury though, its just sweet

Which number is Nasuland's curve? The PM91?

Also, I'm thinking about getting a TPS, what do they have closest to a sakic?

Naslund Curve is p92

and the Nash curve is the closest TPS curve to the sakic

Hey which are the Easton, CCM, TPS, RBK and Mission clones of a P106 Jokinen (Bauer) ?

I made i list via Excel, but i couldnt find the Jokinen clones on MSH!

If someone is interested in this clone list, just message me.

i don't think any other of those companies have a jokinen clone. it's kinda of a unique curve.

[Sven 1]

And which are the closest ?

[lee92 2]

And which are the closest ?

none really. modano/forsberg may be the closest, but where the modano forsgerg is small closed mid curve, the jokinen's bigger heel and slightly open. same lie, 5 i believe. i've seen some tucker blades on some tps one pieces that are similar, but nothing is a direct clone of the p106

[Chadd 916]

And which are the closest ?

TPS Tucker/Perry is probably as close as any but that has a higher lie.
