You guys do an amazing job always here. So informative! I've been playing for 18 years and haven't put much thought into this

Fantastic video- very informative. Loved the diagrams.

This is a great video. I know a lot of families that need this for their hockey players.

i gotta say, when i first started bc i wasn't good at skating, i was using a 6, which was great, then as i got better and better, i started looking down more and missing passes and not getting as good a shot as i'm not getting a lot of blade on the ice, after swapping to a 5.5 sakic, now everything is perfect again!, amazing how lie difference can make a big difference

Hey guys, so I just got my new 20K yesterday, and am using a Duchene curve, which is a lie 5. I have used the p106 Bauer curve for a long time, which is lie 6. I haven't used it yet; what can I expect?

Love these videos- really wish you guys had a south Denver store, I am a huge gear head and will talk equipment all day.

this is the best tutorial/explanation for people looking to properly align the lie on their blades they use and figure it out best, thanks a bunch for posting it, now i can just simply link friends this video instead of explain it haha

On most sticks the stats are printed on them. Bauer does it a bit down on the handle, Easton does it closer to the blade, not sure about Warrior, Reebok, or CCM. All the info should be bundled together in one area, the curve type/name, the flex, the lie.

hi.thank you for useful videos. i have one question. my blade is always worn of on the heel. should i cut a stick a little bit so the whole shaft would be on the surface or should i change a lie?

[golfprof]

You guys are great!! I have been watching your vids for a while now but I have noticed that there may need to be some correlation between stick lie angle and stick length. I am a golf professional who has a pee wee skater and we have noticed that when you cut down a shaft (more than 3 in) your lie angle changes in which the toe is now more flush to the surface and not the middle of the curve. If you know what shaft flex you need and you know the length do you factor in lie angle?

So I have a lie 5 Rbz stage 2. I'm going to get a ribcor this weekend. I have noticed the wear on my blade is at the heal and no wear at the toe. So what lie is best for me? Thanks for the great video!

[brennlog]

Am i right in assuming the stick doesn't need to be flat on the ice when say, standing up straight with your stick in your hand, like during a national anthem...but more so when you are actually in position and playing?

Very informative video! Thanks a lot. Though, how will a Beginner level player decide about the Lie, Flex and the Length of the stick?

[darnedsock]

So, I used to play with the SherWood Leclair stick. The lie was about a 4.5 and the pattern was quite plain, like a Sakic without the open face. Since there really aren't any pattens like that in the lower lies, can you compensate by cutting an inch or so off the length? I wouldn't want to over cut a $100+ stick to find out that's not a good fix.

All these videos are very informative.

YOu guys gave the best advices, and I would like to purchase my gears from you guys, but since the big brands (like Easton and NB) won't allow you guys to ship overseas which got me a bit disappointed. But anyway, best tips and more technical than others, so two thumbs up for me.

Cheers.

say i already bought a stick and dont know what the lie is, how would i find out without going to a hockey shop. thanks love the vids keep them up

[brennlog]

I have a question!!!! When I have my skates on, and hold my stick directy in front of me, the toe barely even touches the ground!!! So do I want to go down or up!??

[kylemorello]

Should I have gotten a Bauer ONE60 for indoor roller hockey or 3 Christian ABS sticks that I can use for indoor and outdoor? (Got a GREAT deal on the Christian ones)

[lowrez]

Nice video, great info.

Question - I've been actively increasing the length of my stick the past year to increase my defensive reach. My question is this, if I increase the length of my stick by lets say an inch or so, should I adjust the lie down? Thinking being, the stick is longer now, to achieve the same blade angle relative to the ice, I would need to adjust the lie. Any suggestions in this? Thanks !

i assume to test if your lie is correct you want to have your skates on right?
