Thanks for the tips, I switched from a Vapor P88 to a Rekker PP26. It completely changed the game for me.
1:26 .... “well rounded curve” 😂
Thank you so much this helped a lot.
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
Hey Chase, I have been using the p88 curve and Tavares curve. What do you think about the E3 curve? I play high level hockey and I am on the ice a lot. Thanks
Hey chase, what curve would you recommend to a forward that does mostly snap shots and some slap shots, im deciding on the p88 or e28 curve.
hey chase I need help I am a center and left wing and I like doing wrist/snap shots and slapers slot and when I'm on a breakaway I usually go backhand but it don't matter what's a good curve for all types of shots and puck handling??
Personally i use the pp26 curve and its perfect for me! I Take à lot of shot and they are perfect!
Would it be a bad idea to try to re-curve a P91 curve into a P92-like curve? I found a Pavelski pro stock white QR1 that looks really cool but I don't like his curve.
what blade was that "short" one at the end?
What curve would you suggest for a player who gets thrown back from d to fwd a lot? Pretty typical shoot-friendly grinder as a fwd. As a d i take a lot of low half clappers from the point and play pretty 2-way
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)
Very informative!
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,
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.
+Ice Warehouse is the p29 a toe curve is it better for quick snap and wristshots and stickhandling than the p19 thanks!
you have to help me,
I often use the end of the toe to pull the puck when I skate backside
I use the heel curve but when I want to send the puck on left (I'm left) it touch an other thing on the right always at the same place (one arm beside)
I didn't arrive to make the puck fly on the ice but I made it at street hockey
I like to play on the heel of the stick
What are you thinking about ?
hey guys quick question I got a 77 flex one95 shaft my buddy gave me.... not sure if its senior or int, will a senior blade fit?
Does warrior have a comparable curve to Easton's E28? I saw a prostock that looked very similar, it said W03 Henrique.
But when I look at the blade chart on IW the toe doesn't look nearly as aggressive. Thanks.
Would a heel curve good for me?? I take lots of hard snapshots and wrist shots. And I use the RBZ stage 2. Is that a good pick?
I'm looking to play my 1st season of hockey later in the year for my highschool team. I'm 16 years old, about 5'4, and 160 pounds. I don't know what position I'll be playing but what would you recommend as a good all around stick for more or less around $100?
i have been using a wariror dt1 pro stick with the henrique curve. everyone single wrist shot and slapshot is way to high. what curve is good for low hard wrist shots?
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.
Hey chase, im from Germany and i want to know which curve in ccm is similar to the P88 ? Currently i Play with the p91a but My team Plays ccm next Season so i am Looking for a good shooting and stickhandlig curve . Greetings from Germany .
Im playing in a roller hockey league this summer, what curve would you recommend for shooting a ball?
I want to get the mcdavid curve (p28) when the super tacks come out is this a big difrrence from p92

I'm a defensmen that Love to take some slap/wrist shots from the blue.Right now I use a Bauer 1S p28 and I hate it.I'm gonna get a vapor 1X do you have some tips for some nice curves?
Looking for a new Stick, have no "favourite" blade willing to try anything, I'm 5'8 170 I use a 75 flex for my sherwood t120 with a pp26 curve 6.0 lie. I want to move up to a 85 and think the 6 lie Isnt right For me, suggestions?
Is the reason I seem to always hold my stick to much at an angle to where when I stick handle a lot of the time it slips of towards the toe because of my lie or curve in general
for stick handling and wrist shots should i get a toe curve (e28 from easton) or Hall (easton)
Hey whats the name of the curve that you use to show the toe curve? It looks like its a closed face. Im currently using a Matt Duchene prostock which has a big toe curve but also a open face. I don`t have any trouble elevating the puck and i would like to try a big toe curve without the open face.
Hey guys id just like to know which bauer and ccm curves are closest to the Easton Iginla curve?

What is a good stick to get ice warehouse
Hi, I need some help choosing a curve. I'm going to get the Bauer TotalONE NXG stick, and I have to choose between the PM9 and the P88 curve. I'm a center/winger that plays with speed, some stickhandling (not a whole lot, mostly relying on angles and speed to shake defenders), I take wrist and snap shots as well as one-timers and slapshots. I basically play a well-rounded game with speed and strength and finesse (I'm also a girl). I don't know which one to choose, I've had PM9 my whole life, but I want to consider making the switch. Which one should I choose, or how would changing to the P88 affect my game? Thanks!
I'm also a very experienced player playing in club league and highschool levels. so basically, I'm at the rink every day.
What curves do higher scorers like Ovechkin and Bure use?
Hey I have a question. I use a ccm Rbz Nugent Hopkings P19 curve. Its a good stick but I sometimes have trouble making it go in a specific direction. It seems like the curve of the stick makes the shot go to the right. I know its not me because ive been able be very accurate with a p88 curve. The thing about the p88 curve is that the passes seem slow for me. As a center its a good stick, but I'm looking for a better curve. Any suggestions?
How about the Sherwood EK15 Stasny curve
is the backstom curve a short ,medium, or long length
Is there a big difference between the CCM P29 and the CCM P20? How is the P20?
Hi im 6'2 225lbs and im a defense and I love to take slap shots and I was wondering what the best option for me would be to get more power and speed in my slap shot. I'm going to be buying a T120 95 flex mid or heel curved square toe with a closed face. But what would you suggest I get to generate more powerful slapshots?
Ahh okay, thanks a lot!!
What curve is good for snap shots
I love my ribcor and my bergeron curve:)
Hockeysk1llz 123 ribcor is trash kids would laugh at you in my league
PJSSYDESTROYER what kind of sticks do u use in ur league
@@Mp.37.37 They use like sher-wood sticks xDDD
I Don't hate them but...
My friend has one of those
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
BAD
Im a big guy. I love to take clappers and take 1Ts from top blue. Sherwood is by far my favorite stick brand. What curve would you recommend for big clappers and decent stick handling
Ice Warehouse thank you guy
I love Kane's curve
Im fairly new to hockey; im still developing my skills. Ive got good stickhandling and take lots of snappers/wristers, not too many slapshots. Backhands arent too big. I am working on lifting the puck but i dont want my shots to fly over the goalies head. Bauer p88, p92, or any other suggestions?
Hey, got another question. Now looking for a backup stick. I've found that I excel at passing; I'm a good playmaker but still want to be able to shoot every once in a while. However, I'm afraid that using two different curves might affect my play. Any recommendations? Thanks.
w71 is by far the best imo bauer and true pls make it
don't seem to see any bergeron curves in vancouver, darn, also would u say a datsyuk curve is better for handling and wrist shots?
Dude there's a bunch in Vancouver
yup now there is
thanks!
Hey Chase, which bauer curve is comparable to the sherwood pp28? Thanks!
P28
so i saw the new ccm reckoner...i think my 40ks graphics (&i love the actual ribs lol) im not sure if my next twig will be ribcor. im a small guy, 5'6, play wing and prefer a longer stick but still like to dangle when i can on break outs or whatever. im currently usinging an intermediate vapor 1x pm9 and my back up is my ribcor 40k p87a or rbk ribcor p874a. love the vapor 1x, super light and and great release on snappers and clappers for me at least, but the pm9 is a pretty flat curve and now that i dont play in a league with much contact, i find with the pm9 i can place my shot wherever i wsnt (i shoot from close to my toe a lot in quick game situations cuz im 5 inches shorter than everyone else lol but stamkos is the only lie 5 i can find) im willing to branch on on brands, i just am looking for a curve thats got a tad more curve than the pm9 but not as much as p88 (its a lie 6 and that causes problems for a short forward who likes a longer twig lol) i love my ribcors p97a's for break outs, puck control and dangles (alot of the time i can deke the goalie but fuck my shot up cuz the open curve and toe is not touching the ice) i was thinking maybe eastons iginla curve may have be that mix of pm9 and p88 (i def realised for shooting i need a closed curve for my accuracy) like i said im happy with my vap 1X and stamkos curve, is just hard to toe drag with or protect the puck comepared to when im using to my ribcor 40k with p87as curve lol i can handle, protect and deke better witu my ribcor, but with my 1X i can pick my spots and have a much better shot but cant handle/protect the puck aswell. i need a lie 5 and im willing to switch around brands, and curve suggestions? im basicslly looking for a pm9 with a tad more curve in it, off my head closest thing i was thinking was eastons cx iggy curve? but you know more than me lol so i was wondering what you think
I take mostly quick snapshots and want to get pin point accuracy and be able to raise the puck quickly. Which curve would be best for me?? Thank You
Bauer's P92 curve would be my recommendation!
Brandon IW Hockey
Hello, I was wondering if there was a curve that could be very close or exact to this:
Mid curve
Open face
Round toe
Thank you
P88
Thanks
does anyone know what type of curve Tarasenko is using ??
***** i usually use a p88 kane curve and im thinking about getting a p91 stall curve what should i eexpect from it / how long to get used to it
***** thanks for the help
I'd expect this video to be older than 2014 if you're saying that Toe curves are the least popular, they are absolutely dominating the industry up here in Canada, Mid Curves are sold second most and Mid-Heel's third most
Heel curve sales are very minimal in some parts of the country here. That's why they only offer it in the top end retail sticks and even then they are always beaten out by Toe and Mid curves
What's the most similar curve to the Sherwood Coffey one? I don't care what brand, it's just hard to find a composite Coffey curve around here. I'm new to skating, but this is the one stick I've ever had and I love it, so I don't want to differ from it too much. It made me go from never touching a stick before to being a better shot in ball/floor hockey than some of my friends who played for years. I never take slapshots, I may eventually but that will be a while from now. I pretty much only take wrist shots at the moment. I guess I take a few snapshots, but since I'm not great at balancing on ice it's hard to lean into it and take a proper shot. Thanks for the help!
Curve: Mid 9/16
Face: open
Toe: round
Length: long
Lie: 5.5
"Large mid curve helps cradle the puck while puck handling and passing. Excellent for wrist shots and snap shots."
***** Thanks for the help Chase, but I got lucky and found a Coffey curve on sale when I went with my friend!
I got the Sherwood Rekker EK9. You did a review on it as well so I figured it was worth it! Normal before tax was $85 canadian, and I got it on sale for $55. Which came to $62 after tax. Love the stick so far! The blade isn't as soft as my old one, but that's fine. I also got it in 85 flex which is better than what I had with a 90 cut short. I also love how it's not too light, and still has some weight to it. The blade looks a little bit taller than my old one, but that's perfect because I actually felt mine was a bit thin. The toe is also more squared than my old one, but I kinda like the squareness as well. So all in all I think it was a fine deal for the first stick I purchased myself. Again thanks for the backup curve!
@icewarehouse I'm used to the p92 cuve with a lie of 6 but i want to try a lie of 5 but the only curve for the lie of 5 is p88 should I stick with the p92 lie of 6 or switch to p88 lie of 5. reply quick please
Its all on personal preference. If you are good enough with the p92, stick(hehe im funny) with it. With the p88 its harder to get shots up and bar down than with the p92, but its better on the backhand. Your pick.
K thanks
Hey. I'm a 2-way Defense playing AAA PeeWee. I've a good slapshot, and same with my wrister. Plus, My stickhandling is key. Any ideas for a curve?
Thanks! I love your videos and they're helping me find gear that works for me best. Keep the up good work.
What would be a reebok curve that is similar to nugent Hopkins?
What kind of curv should I use I am a winger that likes to be able to lift the puck easily
Hey Max
Choose a toe curve if you want to be able to raise the puck easier when taking wrist shots. I'd recommend the Bauer P14 or P92 curve!
Brandon IW Hockey
Looking to switch from Easton to CCM, which blade pattern is similar to Sakic?
***** Thanks!
Lie 5
Open face
Mid curve
What is a nice curve that is quite a bit more than a Kane?
do you know what type of curve is a hall curve?
Here is the best stick advice you can get...... Get a wood blade with three cheaper shafts, an 85, 95, 105 flex. Buy a heat gun, fool around with different curves, even chop up the blades if you need to feel a cut off toe, make sure your lie is good which you can also play around with. When you find the curve, lie, flex that fits you, you have still spent less than a 1 piece costs. You can then blow your money on a 1 piece.
Tyler Perry do u live in estevan
Hey, I used p88 on all my sticks and I love it but I'm thinking of switching to p92 will I notice a big change or not really. Thx
Ok thanks
kane's curve is it like great for a guy that mostly takes wrist shots and do stickhandling? or passing and slap shots?
***** ok thanks, but isn't kane's curve like the mid curve?
***** ok thanks :D
+Ice Warehouse
Hello how are you? I have a question, I am looking for a curve that has
Heel curve
Open face blade
And a square toe
By any chance do you know a curve that has all of those features? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
+Ice Warehouse thank you so much, I recently ordered a 1s from you guys and it's amazing 10/10 great company!
+Ice Warehouse by any other chance I have one more question, I'm looking on starting rec hockey and I'm not sure what position I should be.
I'm at 4'11
12 years old
105 pounds (a little chubby)
And a pretty decent skater
***** I have been using the backstom well now ovechkin all my life playing
I shoot off my toe having that technique down. I heard a p14 or p28 would be better for me what would you recommend? A p14, P28, or stick with the ovechkin curve
Awesome! Thank you!!!!
total hky P28
I use p92 and I love it
I use a p88 i think i might switch to a p92 would you recommend it?
Mister E not gonna lie, I’m a 12 year old kid who doesn’t know much, but I like the p92 and would recommend.
Ok thx for your honesty bud.
Hi, i used to strickly use PM9 curves, past year ive had some high end stick gifts, and ive come to decide i like the p88 and the p87a (ccm/rbk). Just wondering a comparison on the p88 vs. p87a vs. pm9 (i felt like i could pick corners and place my shots where i wanted them with my pm9, but i was looking to change to something that sort or cups the puck better and makes it a little easier for stickhandling, without sacraficings my accuracy too much. I mainly make passed and set up plays, when i shoot, mainly wrist shots/snap shots and odd one-timere/clappers if they're T'd up for me lol, only thing i noticed was the p88 was hard for me to lift the pick, and sometimes with the p87a i either get a flutter puck or shoot it a few inches over the net. Out of all the curves i used PM9 the longest but as my game is devoloping and i have more access to good sticks, just wondering out of the 3 curves what theyre pros/cons are lol finding it hard to pick one lol i dont lean much into my shots snd recently moved to low kicks
hey thanks alot, i thought the new P87a was the new crosby curve since RBK is moving over to CCM? isnt the P87a similar to the P92 and ccm's Nug-Hops?, ive never tried the original crosby, is it much different than the P87a i have on my CCM Ribcor 40k?
and yes ive tried a nexus 8000 and tacks 50, but they were way to tall for me and im light so i tried moving to an intermediate stick lol which has been going well for me so far since i can actually flex it lol ( i weigh 135 and take quick shots rather than load up )
thanks a lot chase
***** hey thanks for the reply and explaining that for me. sounds like a nice curve, minus the length being a little longer (i always like short-med curves) as far as it being a little more closed and having a little more curve, it sounds like if the P88 and the P87A had children, the P29 would be the product haha (never seen the P29, just going off the description), btw when you said "Technically the P92 is a toe curve" did you mean the P29 curve? because to me the bauer P92, CCMs P19 (nug-hops) and CCM/RBK P87A all look very very similar to me. Are the P29's available? i know when CCM releases their new RBZ and UT, i wanna grab one of them for next season and ill def keep the P29 in mind. Thanks A lot, and off topic but are their any outstanding sticks i should save up for coming out this spring/summer? only new sticks ive seen coming out are the RBZ SB and the Ultra Tacks (out of the two which would be better for a small light guy like me who lets off quick shots, currently using ccm ribcor 40k and i love it) is there any talk of a new CCM RIbcor, or will the 40k be the top of the line for next year as well?
thanks a lot…sorry to get off topic, just really curious about this P29 curve and CCM's new Sticks (Bauer used to be my favourite, but it seem's like CCM is going over the top these days with some of their features)
ahh i had a feeling a new ribcor would be coming shortly after the new RBZ and UT. I know you said you cant say much, but has CCM offically realased any info about the new ribcor or as to when it will be coming out? i just want to avoid spending $300 on a new stick and not being crazy about it, and then 1 month later have the new Ribcor coming out (cuz im sure ill be picking that up, the 40k has been one of my favourite sticks ive used..i more or less want to try different curves on it, which is why you got me excited for this new ribcor stick with possibly the P29 curve ;)
thanks!
Hey I'm a 5ft 7in 150lbs defencemen who take a decent amount off clappers and some writers/snappers I'm getting an apx2 and I was wonder inf the pm9 092 or p88 would suit me better I'm generally two way but I do jump up on the rush a decent amount. Thanks
***** I disagree getting a Kane curve as a defensemen on my Nexus 1000 was the worst decision I ever made. It is terrible for clappers,also a 6 lie is too big for defensemen imo. I just got a Stamkos MX3 and I love it.
***** Well the problem with Kane's curve also for me is that it's a lie 6. I play very low as it helps me skate faster and I just don't think it fits me.
***** Would a lie 6 be too big of a jump for someone who uses lie 5?
I like pattioretty’s curve, but sadly they don’t make them anymore so I got a P28 curve by Bauer. It’s pretty similar.
Hey Ross,
Pacioretty's Curve can be found in Warrior Hockey Sticks - W71 and Sherwood's Hockey Sticks - PP77.
Brandon at IW Hockey
great vid.. but what about the depth?
I remember when it was, do I want a sakic or a modano
Modano Christian blade was my favorite
Phaneuf and Iginla were always at the shops around me
