All codes above refer to the same curve family — just named differently by each manufacturer.
The P38 is a classic all-round mid-curve with moderate characteristics across every dimension. No extreme face angle, no extreme depth — just a well-balanced pattern that works across all situations. It was particularly popular in the late 1990s and 2000s and remains a solid choice for players who want a reliable mid-curve without the toe bias of the P88 family. Sergei Fedorov and Drew Doughty are associated with P38-family blades.
Versatile forwards and defensemen who want a neutral mid-curve for all-round play. Good for players who shoot and pass equally, and for anyone who wants a predictable blade that works in every zone without trade-offs.
