The P92 makes it easy to lift the puck because it has a more open face. This sounds like a good thing, but can actually be detrimental to beginners because it encourages bad habits like flicking the wrist to shoot rather than building proper technique. The P88 is a good neutral curve that is ideal for beginners.

2023年1月28日 · The p88 is a great neutral curve. Not as much toe as a p28 and not as open. I personally didn't like the p92 for the same reasons as you with the p28.

2022年3月8日 · From what I know, the P88/P40/P80's are classified as a mid curve with an almost closed or ever so slightly open face. Using the P88 style curves, from the blue line, on slappers, i can get the puck just about cross bar height or less, as well as just about the right amount of lift on my wrist shots from far out.

2022年6月14日 · Sherwood is the last to make a heel curve (P05) for retail, and some of the Rekker M90 sticks (low-kick, <400g) in the P05 curve are still out there. Another option is another Sherwood - the newer Rekker Element stick has a P77 option, which is sort of similar to the P88, but has more curve and more of an open face.

2020年1月25日 · P88 would be my pick, even though I personally prefer the P92. It has a more neutral curve while the P92 is more open faced. As a beginner, it's more important to build good shooting and passing technique, rather than being able to raise pucks right away.

2022年5月5日 · P88 is a good all around curve. As for elevation usually shooting from between the blue line and the top of the circle you want to keep the puck lower to create rebounds, tipped pucks, and shot passes.

2023年1月23日 · Looking at changing up my curve i broke the last of my twigs during a game on the weekend and the p88 curve is really hard to find in my country. From a choice of P28, P90TM can anyone tell which is the closer to the 88 of the two or which would be easier to transition to? For context i take snap and wrist shots primarily as a forward on the wing.

2019年4月9日 · The curve I used when I stopped was a Montreal "European" curve which was similar to a P88, slightly more open, and a square toe. When I started playing again I went to look to see what was available, and the two curves that were closest were P88 (a bit more closed but thinner, rounder toe) and P92 (a bit more open but a wider, squarer toe than ...

2023年1月25日 · The closest I have come to finding a loftier P88 is the Pro Backstrom curve from Pro Stock Hockey Sticks. It's closer to a P88 than P92, but it begins to open up in the mid-heel and has a nice, gradual curve.

2021年12月15日 · On the p88 v. p28 question, I don't love either of them but prefer the P28 for shooting because I find that a more open curve works better for my shooting style and makes picking the top corners easier.
