It really feels like I’m the only one left using p88 lol

[@chrisdouglas6119]

Only the GOATs still use the P88. Kids these days can’t raise the puck without a banana curve and they don’t know what a backhand is

[@stephencruse6525]

I wish the W10 Gionta would come back. It was a nice closed toe curve

[@Lousasshoul]

Informative vid. I cud t find a store near me with a p90 curve. I’m a stamkos guy, and recently bought ft3 pro P28, and boy it was so different. I had pucks literally sliding under my toe when reaching out or controlling pucks away from my body. I had to hold the stick so much more upright than what I’m used to with the stammer. I don’t see the stammer curves around as much anymore so hopefully this Tavares helps out a bit. Thanks

[@frankzhong9402]

Thanks for the review!

[@HockeyReviews]

Thanks for watching :)

[@alcatraz7761]

I’ll definitely give that one a try.

[@MrEyeskel]

I ALWAYS break my ccm sticks on the black where it goes thinnest on the p29. So I'm looking forward to hopefully a little more durability on the p90tm

[@kashmoney1227]

Good vid I will now be getting this curve when I get the ft3 using your link

[@HockeyReviews]

Let CCM know ;)

[@kashmoney1227]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[@gregorybrowe2]

Nice video. The P 90 TM is very similar to the curve. Nathan McKinnon was using when he was using the CCM rib core stick. I had a pro stock model, and it was pretty close to the P 90 TM, very flat throughout, and then a nice big tow curve, I noticed that I was able to control the pocket, had better stickhandling and then when I wanted to get it on the toe and go top cheese, I was able to with relative ease.

[@shogekimura]

ive always struggled with the shootability of the p29 and the better stickhandling and toe drags of the p28 (for me). combined with the fact that the p28 FT2 was my favorite stick,i have to say this might be the perfect stick for me. cool demonstration on the bit about the lie. thanks for putting out the video

[@HockeyReviews]

So one thing to be cautious about, I found the P90TM to shoot basically the same as the P29. So if you struggled with shooting the P29 perhaps this won't be the curve for you.

[@shogekimura]

Hockey Reviews sorry that was worded incorrectly I mean that I struggle with choosing the better shoot ability of the p29 but worse stock handling- I stick handle better with the p28. So I meant to say I have trouble choosing between the two which I why I think this curve will be great for me

[@HockeyReviews]

Ah, that makes sense and yes this would probably be a really good option for you.

[@csabafejer5947]

I'd love to try the ccm jetspeed ft3 pro

[@csabafejer5947]

But my county only has it in p29 curve and my curent curve is the p28 :(

[@gabrielmonias8405]

It’s a very good stick, despite I broke it last night but the stick is very good for shooting both wrist shot and slappers, I’d get very good puck control aswell

[@liveslowlivesimple]

i actually bought a trigger 4 with a P90TM curve and it totally flew over my head that its a new curve. thought it was just the P92 for some reason

[@acsh81]

I plan on getting the new curve, I sure wish I could get my hands on it.

[@HockeyReviews]

Should be able to get it here: bit.ly/2ZKUtna

[@schaefersshitposts]

I wish the P90TM was in the whole lineup and not the flagship lineup. Currently use a P28 but I’m thinking of purchasing a P29 to see if I notice a difference. Will only purchase CCM so no P92M

[@arvindparmar9012]

great vid. I use p28 exclusively but will give the p90 a go

[@HockeyReviews]

I would say that the transition from the P28 to P90TM will be greater than the P29 which I use. Just a forewarning.

[@arvindparmar9012]

Hockey Reviews to me the optics of the toe hook look similar to the p28. I’ll try and shoot with both as pro hockey life has a place where you’re able to test sticks

[@arvindparmar9012]

Hockey Reviews I really like how you showed the difference In lie. That’s a pretty cool feature

[@DansyukianDeke]

Just a comment about what you sorta quipped about what, if anything, CCM offered in a max blade for pro stock: I have some FT2’s in p90M and a p19M, and the p19 max is even taller than the p90 max, as well as max blades I have in both Bauer and Warrior. I mean, the thing is just massive.

[@IPv6Freely]

Interesting they made a new Tavares curve. I’ve been using the CCM Tavares curve for years when his name was on the P45. Are they still making a P45?

[@HockeyReviews]

P45 is not in the catalogue so I ma going to say no.

[@tylerboyd6247]

I dont think they are, I've been looking for one for ages the last time I saw one was on a speed burner a few years ago

[@IPv6Freely]

@@tylerboyd6247 I haven't bought a player stick in years so really wasn't sure. I honestly thought the P45 was a "standard" curve that would the type that always sticks around but I guess not. Oh well :)

[@tylerboyd6247]

@@IPv6Freely it used to be, same with the p38 and the p14 for bauer, sadly I haven't seen any of them in quite a while, if you liked the p45 you may like the pm9 or W16 I heard they were slightly Similar

[@DansyukianDeke]

@@tylerboyd6247 if you happen to be a lefty, Hockeystickman.com has like one or two in stock, but I don’t remember what brand they’re in. That curve is basically a dinosaur these days.

[@jusmor7371]

I miss the p46 I don’t see it anywhere now

[@schaefersshitposts]

They still sell it but it’s like a needle in the haystack it seems like

[@elijahhicks5000]

I've never had a ccm stick before, but I am looking to get the jetspeed ft3 pro stick, what curve do you think is the best? I was thinking of getting a p29 or p90tm

[@HockeyReviews]

I always used a P29 until the P90TM came out. The P90TM is what I would personally get but it is all personal preference.

[@elijahhicks5000]

@@HockeyReviews one last question, does one curve have more benefit than the other?

[@HockeyReviews]

The bigger the toe generally the easier it is for stick handling. P28 is more aggressive for shooting so it is harder to keep shots low and for hard passes. P29 is basically easier for accuracy and passing. P90TM tries to take the positive for both.

[@elijahhicks5000]

@@HockeyReviews thank you

[@kjm0227]

I love the p88 for stick handling and catching passes but hate it for shooting. I shoot the p29 better but can’t stick handle as well given the lie/rocker of the stick. Would the P90TM be kind of a middle ground?

[@HockeyReviews]

Not really, the P90TM is a mix between the P28 and P29, not the P88.

[@hazelnut49]

I have a question that IDK if you or anyone can answer. Does anyone make a true Leon Draisaitl blade? I don't mean just the curve but everyone says what a massive paddle he plays with. Does anyone make it to that size?

[@HockeyReviews]

That I can't answer sorry.

[@hazelnut49]

@@HockeyReviews yeah no one seams to know. Thank you.

[@topcheez3020]

Getting a new stick. Should I get a p29 or a p90TM

[@HockeyReviews]

Totally personal preference and you have to figure out what you'd want more. If you want more toe and want it easier to shoot high go with the 90TM

[@topcheez3020]

Thank you

[@topshelftwigs8795]

love ccm wish they would just make a p29 max instead of a hybrid

[@HockeyReviews]

While I agree, if I had the choice between the P29Max and this... after using this one I would probably take the P90TM.

[@85dbs]

You can get the max blades on CCM pro stocks. Check out www.hockeystickman.com

I only use p 92 curve and for warrior wo3 blade because it similar to p92 curve lol I’m trying to stick to one blade pattern it the p92 curve lol

P92 is the best blade ever!!!

[@1q3er5]

p28 and p30 is much better for toe drags ... RIP P30 - it died for this shit curve

[@LaFllamme]

It’s Jamie Benn’s pro stock curve

[@BenderIsGreat99]

Came here to say this. Can't believe it wasn't mentioned in the video. This curve has been popular with pros over the last few years. It's a great pattern. While the feel of it is like a 92/28 hybrid the curve is literally the 92 with a kink at the toe. The semi max blade height is an added bonus. Lots of pro stock out there with this curve (and available on Bauer customizer) - Benn Pro

[@HockeyReviews]

I heard from multiple people that it wasn't exactly the same. I couldn't confirm so I didn't want to bring it up.

[@qmechanic]

@@HockeyReviews I have both the Benn and P90TM curves from Bauer and they are most definitely not the same. The Benn is more of a mid curve and the P90TM is more of a toe curve. They are pretty similar though. I felt like they stickhandled very similarly. Forehand wrist shots were similar. Backhand shots are different. I'm too used to P92/Benn, so my backhand shot was messed up when I tried to use the P90TM. But since the P90TM has less curve, it should theoretically be better on backhands, once I have time to practice with it more.

[@nickyd.1216]

What lie is the new curve

[@HockeyReviews]

CCM doesn't say in the catalogue. Someone on ModSquadHockey mentioned 5.5 but I can't confirm.
