How each Revive curve plays

Curve location describes where the blade bends most. An open face helps lift the puck, while a more neutral face makes it easier to keep shots and passes down. Use the descriptions below to match the curve to the way you play.

R92 Mid-toe · Open face · Round toe

Best all-around choice. The mid-toe curve cups the puck well for stickhandling, while the open face helps elevate wrist shots, snapshots, and saucer passes. It balances puck control, a quick release, and easy lift without being as aggressive as the R28.

R88 Mid · Slightly open face · Round toe

Best for control and accuracy. The moderate mid curve provides a predictable release, accurate passing, strong puck control, and a reliable backhand. Its relatively neutral face makes it easier to keep shots and passes down, making it a forgiving choice for nearly any position.

R28 Aggressive toe · Open face · Round toe

Best for quick-release shooters. The aggressive toe pocket excels at toe drags, pulling the puck into the body, and snapping shots off the toe in tight spaces. It gets the puck upstairs quickly but requires better mechanics to keep shots and passes low.

R29 Pro-style toe curve

Best for versatile toe-curve players. The pronounced toe pocket helps cup the puck, execute toe drags, and load quick wrist shots and snapshots. It produces crisp saucer passes and fast elevation while offering a more balanced feel than a pure shooting curve.

R86 Hybrid mid-toe · Open face

Best hybrid toe curve. This pattern combines the familiar feel of an R92 with additional toe control. The straighter heel and middle support passing and puck reception, while the stronger toe hook improves toe drags, quick snapshots, and releases close to the body.

RM9 Mid-heel · Neutral face · Round toe

Best for playmakers and backhands. This flatter, traditional pattern emphasizes accurate passing, predictable low shots, easy puck reception, and dependable forehand and backhand control. It is a forgiving option for centers and players who prefer a less aggressive curve.

R91A Heel · Very open face · Longer blade

Best for effortless lift and shots from distance. The straighter middle and toe provide plenty of surface for receiving passes, deflections, and board play. The open face excels on slap shots and saucer passes but is less forgiving on backhands and low shots.

R07 Compact mid curve · Semi-square toe

Best for predictable control. The smaller curve and relatively neutral face help keep passes and shots down while maintaining a dependable forehand and backhand. Its compact shape suits players who prefer a flatter, control-focused blade.

R02 Deep heel · Very open face · Long blade · Square toe

Best for slap shots, long passes, and defensemen. The long blade creates a large receiving surface, while the open face makes saucer passes, elevated shots, and clearing attempts easier. The square toe is useful for collecting pucks along the boards.
