All codes above refer to the same curve family — just named differently by each manufacturer.
The PM9 is one of the classic mid-curves — a flat, predictable pattern that was popularised by Mike Modano during his peak years in Dallas. Less curve than the P88 or P92, the PM9 suits players who want absolute control and consistency over power or deception. The near-flat face makes it one of the best backhand puck-moving curves available, and the mid contact point rewards players with sound technical mechanics.
Centres and playmakers who value consistency and backhand ability. Excellent for face-off specialists and players who distribute the puck more than they shoot. Also popular among older players who grew up in an era of flatter blades and want familiar puck feel.
