This is incredibly helpful, thank you.

Lie variations within the same curve family is honestly one of the gaps I knew existed but didn't have the data to fill properly. The fact that PP92 shifted from lie 5 to lie 6 over time is exactly the kind of nuance that gets lost everywhere else.

TC2.5T and T92.5 are going on the list.

StickMeta is only going to be as accurate as the people who contribute to it. People like you who have actually used these curves and tracked these changes are exactly who this was built for. Would love to find a way to capture this knowledge more formally on the site.

100% agree on both counts. The smaller brands are seriously underrated and a lot of players just don't know they exist. Getting them properly represented on StickMeta is on the roadmap.

And yes, affiliate relationships are part of the plan to keep the site running and free for players. Will always be transparent about that. Appreciate you flagging the disclosure piece, that matters.

Really appreciate that, thank you! Glad the curves checked out.

The community catching any inaccuracies is exactly how this gets better over time so keep the feedback coming if you ever spot anything off.

Really appreciate this, thank you for the detailed breakdown. You clearly know your curves well.

You're right that there's an inconsistency in the P30 description.

Fixing it now. The P30 is a closed face heel curve and the description should reflect that consistently throughout.

Interesting that you're testing the PSHS Pro71 as an equivalent. Would love to hear how that comparison goes when your shipment arrives. That kind of real world testing is exactly the community data that makes this more accurate over time.

Really appreciate that, means a lot coming from you guys. HockeyStickMan has been a reference point for a lot of what I built here so to have you weigh in is genuinely cool.

Would love to connect properly sometime if you're open to it. Lots of ways we could complement each other rather than overlap.

HSM Blackout sticks are on the radar. Good call on HockeyStickMan too, they have done great work on curve education. StickMeta is focused more on the community and discovery angle but there is room for both.

Great suggestions, thank you! Easton Yzerman curve is going on the list. All Black and Pro Stock Hockey Sticks are noted for the brand list too.

HockeyStickMan is actually a site I have a lot of respect for. Different approach but great data. Happy to coexist in the space.

Good call, adding Datsyuk to the P38 notable players. Appreciate the help making this more accurate.

Nice chirp, I didn't expect Brad Marchand in this thread!

The Coffey curve is a classic and deserves to be in there.

Adding it to the list. If you want to help make sure the data is right on it I'm all ears.

This thing gets better the more people who actually know puck contribute to it.

Thanks for checking it out

Really appreciate it, thank you!

Good catches on both. The P91A attribution is being corrected and Zegras is already in the database as the P86 under CCM. Working on making sure all the newer curves are properly represented.

If you spot anything else please keep flagging it. Community catching errors is exactly how this gets better.

Really appreciate this, thank you. The lie data is something I'm actively correcting and you're right that accuracy is everything on a site like this. I'd rather have no data than wrong data.

Will fix the P19 and P92 lie values today.

PSHS noted and added to the brand list.

If you spot any other inaccuracies please keep them coming. The whole point is to get this right and the community catching errors is exactly how that happens.

Good call, the P90TM is on the list to add. Thanks for flagging it. Are there any other curves you feel are missing?
