Top curve fits

Ranked using weightings for position responsibility, play style tendencies, and how each curve supports the shots you selected.

#1

Bauer P28 (Toe) — HyperLite 2 / Mach

Aggressive toe curve with an open face that rewards quick puck pulls, deceptive looks, and inside-lane finishes.

Puck handlingShooting

Attack-mode bias — designed to turn puck touches into shots immediately.

Pros

  • Ridiculously fast release with minimal blade lag when you roll the wrists.
  • Open face keeps the puck elevated even on off-balance shots.
  • Toe pocket excels at disguising pulls and changing release points.

Watch-outs

  • Backhands can sail — requires soft hands to keep the puck down.
  • Not ideal for hammering point slappers all night.
#2

CCM P29 (Crosby) — Jetspeed / Ribcor

Mid-toe rocker with a friendly lie that blends clean puck touches, controlled shooting lanes, and saucer confidence.

Puck handlingShooting

Balanced feel — you get confident puck touches with quick release support.

Pros

  • Rounded pocket keeps the puck connected on handles and controlled passes.
  • Balanced rocker makes it easy to load snapshots without overthinking blade angle.
  • Backhand performance is reliable for outlets and quick touches.

Watch-outs

  • Does not have the extreme toe hook some shooters crave for drag releases.
  • Power-focused players may want more loft for big one-timers.
#3

True TC2.5 (T28) — HZRDUS / Catalyst

Defined mid-toe curve with a touch of loft that pairs smooth puck placement with confident one-touch shooting.

Puck handlingShooting

Shooting-forward bias — favors finishing ability while keeping handles secure.

Pros

  • Predictable face angle for tape-to-tape feeds and seam passes.
  • Enough pocket depth to grab passes yet still release quickly.
  • Handles slap shots better than most toe curves thanks to the mid pocket.

Watch-outs

  • Not as whippy on pure toe drags compared to an extreme P28-style hook.
  • Backhand still requires touch because of the slightly open face.
