THE GWIND SPECIFICATION GUIDE
Find the shape that feels familiar. Then make the details your own.
A clearer specification starts with the details.
A blade curve is the shape of the blade from heel to toe. A pattern combines where the bend starts, how pronounced it is and how open the face is. Blade length, toe shape and lie also help define the complete profile.
Toe, mid and heel describe the location of the curve. An open face tilts upward more than a closed face. Two patterns can look similar in a photograph while feeling different on the puck, so use the full profile as your reference.
The curve changes how the puck sits on the blade and leaves it during a pass or shot. It also affects the forehand and backhand feel. The right starting point is a pattern you can control consistently, rather than the most pronounced curve available.
Use the GWIND chart below to compare shape references. Record your current pattern and explain what you want to change: puck lift, toe control, passing or backhand feel. Other-brand names are comparison references; confirm the final GWIND geometry before ordering.

CURVE / QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions about curve, before you settle on your specification.
ASK GWINDA toe curve places more of the bend toward the tip; a mid curve bends nearer the middle. Compare them using the same passing, shooting and puck-handling drills so you can judge the change in contact and release.
No. Face angle changes how the puck leaves the blade, but technique and blade control still matter. If shots rise more than intended, compare a less open profile alongside your current one.
The brand names in the chart help describe familiar shapes. They do not guarantee identical geometry or an affiliation. Confirm the GWIND pattern, dimensions and available build before approving a sample.
Check them together. The curve chart lists lie information for each pattern, and not every curve has multiple lie options. Start with a familiar shape, then check how that blade sits on the ice in your usual stance.
