How to Select the Right Hockey Blade Curve

Chase from IW Hockey explains the in's and out's of hockey blade curves. He reviews Hockey Blade Curve Types (heel, mid-heel, mid and toe curves), Blade Faces (open or closed), Toe-Types (round or square) and Blade Lengths (short, medium and long).

Thanks for the tips, I switched from a Vapor P88 to a Rekker PP26. It completely changed the game for me.

I've been playing since I was about (now 20) and I've tried numerous blades and flexes and lately I've found myself pretty comfortable with and 85 flex P88 (Kane) curve. But I'm curious what blade and flex you would suggest for me. I'm 5'11", 190lbs, Center, Huge on wrist/snapshots, only slap shots I take are one-timers,  very confident handling the puck,  quick release. Very curious on your input. Love IW Hockey!!

I personally love the toe curve because it helps you a lot with stick handling

what blade was that "short" one at the end?

In NHL 12, I have a blade curve set at mid open. In the game I'm a left wing sniper. I want to know if this is a good blade curve for my player.

Can you do a video on what player curves are good for what style of play

[zacha]

Personally i use the pp26 curve and its perfect for me! I Take à lot of shot and they are perfect!

I can't decide between the rs 2 and the nexus 1000
Whats better for what? My last stick was the ccm rbz  and loved it.

[AndyHockeySnipes]

I had a nexus and I got yelled at when I broke it by the store I bought it at, they said nexus wasn't made for slap shots. And it feels like a low kick point..

Hey chase would changing from p92 to p88 be a big difference

[nhlrockstar]

Changed up my style a bit and I'm comfortable shoting on top of the right faceoff circle, the blue line and the cornor, I like to lean on my shots what curve and stick would good?btw I loved that crazy ovi curve if thiers anything similar give me suggestions thanks in advance.

+Ice Warehouse is the p29 a toe curve is it better for quick snap and wristshots and stickhandling than the p19 thanks!

Ok, I'm a 5'1 bantam AA player moving onto varsity next year. I have an extremely hard shot for my age and I have the best on my team. 45 snap shot and 70 slap shot. (Been timed before). Anyways. I had an eq 10 for my first stick and I loved it. E3 curve was amazing for me. Then I got a Ribcor 25k with a Bergeron. And my shots were kinda muffins and they weren't accurate and always missed the net. Then I got an x90 with a backstrom. And I kinda like it. But it seemed heavy. I want a curve that I can pick corners with all types of shots. Oh and btw. I can dangle. What type of curve should I get and what top of the line stick would u recommend. Thanks,

Been using P88 for a couple years, like it but am thinking of trying P92 on a mx3. Primarily like to take quick shots of the toe, do you think a little more open blade will help? (Liked the E28, but done with Easton's for a while)

[sammieis]

Because the next stick I'm planning to get is the warrior dynasty hd1 w28 curve and it said it is a mid toe curve

[thedangler]

Does Sherwood offer a mid or mid to toe curve with a closed face blade, if not what would be the closest one too that

[cdowling]

for stick handling and wrist shots should i get a toe curve (e28 from easton) or Hall (easton)

[isaakl]

What's the best sherwood curve for stick handling and wrist shots?

[trundlethegreat]

I remember when it was, do I want a sakic or a modano

[hockeyhound]

What would be the most well rounded or most popular reebok curve?
