#94 3 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 Why do you think that, Mack? I ask because every individual is going to have their preference, so if the retail market covered all curve possibilities (i.e. heel, mid-heel, mid, mid-toe, toe) wouldn't the figures be somewhat evenly distributed? I know that the patterns which have larger sweet spots (i.e. Modano/Forsberg/PM9) are going to be popular no matter what. Unless i'm simply ignorant to the fact that toe curves don't do well at retail? P.S. It's been awhile, good to see MSH is still up and running and we still have all the original Corebeamers/EMB guys/gals here. (Well, for the most part.)

(Well, for the most part.)Bauer used to do a bunch of toe curves in their wood blades and none of them exist anymore. If any manufacturer thought they could sell more sticks or blades by offering a toe curve, don't you think they would? Of course, you would then have the people saying they want it in a different lie or change the rocker or ....., it really would turn into an endless "if only" situation.It is amazing how many of us are still around from the old days, we really do appreciate the fact that so many people still like to hang out with us.

kovey10 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 The Kane sticks Ive seen in person are similar to a Shanny. Whats the flex on this stick? I know he was using 102 at one point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caldakid 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 it is a shanny clone with a different lie i believe, its a 107 flex and it looks cut down as well. i love the lie tho. not sure what it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovey10 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Shit 107 flex cut down and hes a small guy, thats stiff. Yeah I liked his sticks when I seen them, but Im RH so they were no good for me haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xstartxtodayx 343 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 That's a real nice looking curve, nice pick up. Is that a tacki-mac grip or just tape? The pic looks like it may be either one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
