With so many new sticks being release these days, keeping up with the different curve patterns available can be really difficult, especially when different companies will call the same curve a different name. To help simplify this problem, we've created our own system for coding blade types to make shopping across brands easier. We have identified 16 of the most commonly used curves and assigned them all a standardized name to make your shopping experience as simple as possible. Below is a chart identifying these curves and what their name is under its respective brands. We have also included our thoughts on each curve, what players are using it, and similar curves to give a try.
