CCM blade patterns?

Question

i never said i was gonna buy it online or anything. i already know what stiffness and flex and weight i want. i just need to know what kind of blade pattern is good for a forward

Answer 1

Hockey stick patterns vary because of each and every players unique style.  Best to go in and check for flex/stiffness and weight and balance as well as what feels comfortable inn your hands/gloves.   What kind of shot do you have, are you a forward or defenseman.  Ask your local sportshop to help you select the right brand stick and pattern, thats why they are there.  you shouldn t buy online without going to feel a stick in the proshop first..

Answer 2

It depends on what you like, there is no real answer to your question.  I am not familiar with the Ovechkin curve, the Thornton curve is a little bigger and the blade is a little wider.  The Recchi pattern, if they still make it, has a nice even mid-curve.  Like the guy before me stated, you really need to check them out and decide what works for you.  Don't base it on the name stamped on the shaft.

Answer 3

The three most popular patterns in the market are what Easton calls the Forsberg, the Sakic and the Drury, in that order. These three patterns represent 80% of easton sales.

Most of the other companies recognize this heavy lean to the top 3 patterns and have replicated them under their own athletes' names. I don't know what CCM calls these patterns, but that would be a good starting point for your search.
