All Hockey Stick Curves have some degree of loft to them. This is similar to how golf wedges look, but to a much lesser extent. Hockey Stick Blades with a closed face will help keep shots low and powerful, with more straight-line velocity.

Q. Are goalie sticks curved?
Curves are generally not as widespread amongst goalie sticks as they are with conventional sticks. While a straighter blade will allow you to stop and settle shots with greater control, many goalies reach for twigs with a slight mid or heel curve to give them increased loft when playing the puck down ice.
Q. Who has the most curved hockey stick?
The Sakic Curve On his way to the Hall of Fame, Joe Sakic scored 100 points or more in six of his 20 NHL seasons and came up with perhaps the most well-known of the NHL hockey curves.
Q. Why are curved sticks illegal in hockey?
In this era, goaltenders were irritated by the danger such wild shots posed to them and in response, the NHL began gradually reducing the amount of curve a blade could legally have. In the modern game, the emphasis on shooting accuracy has largely eliminated any preference for extreme blade curves.

Q. What is the Modano curve now?
The Lidstrom curve still exists. It’s just a different name. It’s the square toe heel curve.
Q. What is P92 curve?
Curve: P92 (Backstrom, Naslund) Description: This is a big mid curve with a open face. Advantages: This is the stickhandling curve. Toe drags, dekes, and straight up dangling will be easier with the P92, because you can cup the puck better. The P92 is also great for snap shots because of the deep mid curve.
Q. Is P29 the same as P92?
So, the CCM P29 (Crosby) is essentially the same as the Bauer P92 — they’re crazy similar and, all told, it’s a good curve for kids.
Q. What is Ovechkin’s curve?
Description: A massive open spoon curve, a mix of heel and toe, beginning from the heel and opening up more and more throughout the blade. It is the ultimate one-timer and wrist shot curve. This curve is great for heavy shooters, and players who need a curve that they can rely on to get the puck upstairs quickly.
Q. What curve does Connor Mcdavid use?
Description: One of the best curves we have available, and not only because it belongs to one of the best players. The curve is like a P92 but the blade shape is an exact copy of the easton Iginla (basically the curve is like a deeper/more curved iginla).

Q. What is the lie of CCM sticks?
The lie of a hockey stick is indicated by a number on the shaft, usually ranging from 4 to 7. The higher the number, the more upright the lie — think puckhandlers, weaving through traffic to snap off wrist shots. The lower the number, the farther the puck is from your body — think slap shot-happy defensemen.
