need some stick help and kinda pronto

[greatsave31]

Ok guys/gals I need some help quick. Ok I have training camp very soon, but much to my dismay (like i didn't see it coming) my sticks are dwindling down. I have a pro training camp coming up and I need my particular type of stick. I currently use a RBK 6K khabibulin pro return stick I bought from *******. I have been using this curve and stick spec for about 7 years (it was actually the stock specs on the khabibulin stick bauer 4000/4500 stick). I need any info anyone has on anything remotely close to this.


Specs:
- 26" paddle
- 15 lie
- regular hand

Similar pro return patterns:
- Nabokov
- Fernandez
- Legace (RBK from *******, not his SWD model)this is my last choice.

I'm asking if anyone knows where I can get a stick like this. I really don't care about the curve, I'm more interested in a stick with a 26" paddle AND a 15 lie. I'm very sorry if I sound picky but I really can't use a lower lie stick as I found it has caused problems in my shoulder, and I'm a goalie and we are allowed to be picky. If anyone could help me out in anyway... I.E. website links, team sales, etc. ANYTHING. I'm very desperate

Points of reference:
- I have used both the Lalime pro model, and Ant's stick which I bought from Dukes and both were lower lies.

- I have checked just about every website on the links page and I have not been able to find something I was happy with.


please help with whatever is possible. I want to buy a pro return stick for now, and then I will go custom as soon as I find out where I'm playing but first I have to secure my spot on this team. Thanks in advance.

alot of the bauers.nikes stock are similar to habs curves... I used them before and they were very similar shaped to the bauer "habby" supremes

i agree with you there but i'm not realy comfortable with a stock stick for this upcoming training camp. but if worse comes to worse than I might have to.

really ds is the best place for pro return sticks but there are other shops that have pro sticks.... maybe peranis or total hockey

You should have been better prepared if you knew training camp was coming up.

The RBK Legace and Sherwood Legace are the exact same pattern. Its been the same for over 7 years any difference is due to manf defects.

I don't know why curve doesn't matter to you.

It changes the position of the hand offsetting the lie and paddle length.

Try the Fleury and Denis.

Dukes, goalie monkey, the hockey shop, hockey geeks.

Your not ready for pro camp.

Its like asking what offseason conditioning I should be doing for the season 1 week before it starts.

Its too late.

Ryeno: i still have a month before camp(I realize I left that out in my first post which I should have), and i appreciate the help but i really could care less whether you think i'm ready or not for my camp... no disrespect intended. Obviously your entitled to your opinion and that's fine... it's not like you will be the first one that doesn't think I'm not prepaired.

Again I'm not trying to start a fight I was merely looking for help and I feel I would have responded differently if the situation had been for anyone else. I feel like I'm in a bind now because I was assuming that since ******* had the sticks that I used for a while they would still have them. I called that store a few days ago and they are out... now I have to find something to replace it because sending this pattern away would not have a quick enough turnaround time.

The reason I thought the RBK and the SWD Legace patterns were different, is due to the fact that on the ******* website, the paddle heights are actually listed as being different. (RBK=26", SWD=28") And as listed on their website, they use their own measuring system... I however have never used the SWD legacy.

In regards to why I'm not worried about the curve. I'm more worried about the lie, I could always manipulate the curve with a torch once I get to the rink or something.

Danny: Thanks for your responses. I think your right about *******, although I do have an e-mail out to Dukes so I will see what their basement has as well... I also think a Luongo stick is a 15 lie so we will see what I can get.
