Blade patterns across different brands

[Reaper 0]

Is the following true regarding blade patterns?

Easton Lidstrom = TPS Morrow = Bauer PH02

I know the pattern database exists but without pictures I can't really compare them.

[Cavs019 710]

they are similar, morrow has alot less curve than lidstrom and bauer doesn't make the pronger pt2 or whatever its called on any high end sticks yet.

[ambro 0]

Well technically they do, on the Nike Apollo. That's the only stick so far I think for that pattern.

[Cavs019 710]

its available on the XXX, i just dont know anywhere that has them yet. We only recieved lindros, hossa, and jokinen. Blah.

Are you planning on buying one Cavs?

[Cavs019 710]

a kovalchuk 87....

I thought the Pronger pattern was available on the Vapor XX as the P02.

Also, does anyone else notice that Bauer has a lot more patterns listed as being available than they previously had?

I thought the PM9 and P91 were the same pattern but they are listed as being seperate on Bauer's web site.

Now if they could only have some way to view the patterns on their web site.

[Cavs019 710]

no p02 on the xx, pm9 is a modano clone, p91 is very similar to the drury.

From Bauer's web site (on the Vapor XX page):

PATTERNS

SENIOR

[P88, P106, P10, P91, P92, P71, P02, PM9]

Anyone know what the P10 and P92 look like?

[ambro 0]

Pretty sure P10 is the Gagne, which is sort of similar to a Sakic I think. Mission's Hatcher is a Gagne clone, if you've seen one of those...

a kovalchuk 87....

Well when you get it, let us know how it compares to a Inno True1 since it is supposed to be very similar to it.

I thought P10 was a Shanahan clone and Mission Hatcher was a Peca (P71) clone.

[JR Boucicaut 3809]

I saw the XXX yesterday.

Not exactly impressed.

Same plastic feeling as the True1, but with a standard-wrap composite blade (not the checkered one like on the True1.)

The grip is actually nice...it's tackier than the XX.

I'll have more info on Monday as my BNH rep is coming in for a few hours.

Oh yea, you're right. I got them mixed up.

[Cavs019 710]

jr, the puck feel is extremely solid with it and the balance is almost perfect. You can tell its the true 1 by looking at the top and bottom of the blade. It almost looks like the standard weave is painted over the faces of the blade.

[JR Boucicaut 3809]

I haven't had a chance to try one.

Still think the stick feels artificial...which I thought about the True1.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I've always considered the Tucker closer to Lidstrom and Morrow closer to Drury, but they are close.

Here is a question....

I spoke to someone at Innovative on the phone a few weeks ago (can't remember name) and he hinted that the XXX and True One are the same stick. Now for example, if the Federov pattern is a 4.5 or 5 lie and it's the "same" as the pm9 (Hossa pattern) which Bauer says is a 6 lie.......how can this be?

[Cavs019 710]

you can have the same stick with different curves. Hossa is a lie 5, Fedorov is a 4.5. Im 100% sure of that.

[wickedwrister 0]

Bauer claims the Hossa is a 6 lie (like most of their sticks/ blades). So who is the liar (excuse the pun). HAAAAAAAAA....made myself laugh. :lol:

Amazing what a couple of beers does on an empty stomach.

[Cavs019 710]

Bauer lies...its the same lie as the Easton Modano.

[slapshot19 0]

if possible could you cavs, or you jr. take pics of the xxx. And Cavs what curve is the kovalchuk similar to?thx

[wickedwrister 0]

I think Kovalchuk is the same as Easton's Drury and Inno's Kovalev.

Did he tell you they were using Innovative's retail pattern molds to make Bauer patterns?

Then they won't be the same...

The XXX is made to Bauer spec using the True1 technology.

The Hossa is a 5, not a 6 as Bauer states.

Hmmm. We did not discuss what molds were being used for what. I guess I just thought that if Innovative was making most of Bauer's sticks/ blades that they would use their own Inno molds. Which is what lead to my question. That and I assumed (yeh yeh, I know) that Bauer's web site and Bauer for that matter would know what the lie of their sticks/ blades were. As a side note, when I asked the Innovative guy what the lie of the Fedorov was, he said that "We really don't mesure the lies of the sticks" and said he "guessed it to be around a 5". I was staying away from the Bauer ONLY because they claim the PM9 is a 6 lie. My favorite stick ever was a Inno True 1 with a Fedorov curve (broke) and I was scoping out something along those lines.

No...

As my post said, made to Bauer spec...
