Gionta Warrior w10 Curve, something in prostock?

[iceman8310 103]

I know Warrior discontinued the Gionta w10 curve.  I know the p28  is similar but I still prefer the gionta curve over the p28.  Does anyone know if the curve will come back out, available in pro stock or custom?

Tyler Bozak was/is using it, so you could try his sticks. Are you LH or RH?

A retail option is the TC3 from True. Not exactly the same, but it plays very similar IMO. It has more loft obviously but a much closer playability and blade shape to the W10 compared to a P28.  

Another option is the Malkin pro from Base. I switched between these curves with no trouble at all. The Malkin has slightly less loft and the curve starts slightly earlier (more mid-toe) but the way it plays is very similar to the W10.

I'm a RH

 

Is the TC3 and TC4 the same curve?

Gionta on the left, True TC3 on the right

Tc3 and 4 are different. Tc4 is a e28 clone.

Easton e35 if you can find em...

I was desperate for the Gionta/Sherwood Smith so I placed an order through Sherwood.  Had to order 6 but for me it was money well spent.  The E28/TC3  doesn't work for me.  Need the closed/squarish toe that the above mentioned provides:)

If you're a righty, schieffele, zaitsev and zidlicky all use a variation of Kovalchuks pro pattern which is essentially what the Gionta curve was.

Gionta is available on our stick customizer.

That doesn't do me any good if I want to go out and buy a stick

Won't be able to go and find it on a pro stock stick either though; One or two NHL's have that curve right handed.

Maybe Fabbri, Burns, and MacKinnon are close. Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head.

Base bc71 is really close. It's a Malkin pro stock I believe.
