Evgeni Malkin PRO71
Malkin pro pattern documented from a physical stick by ABS Hockey.
Verified
GEOMETRY
What makes it different
P88-like through most of the blade with a localized toe hook; not equivalent to retail P28.
Retail comparison: Closest retail comparison only; the pro/custom curve remains a distinct identity.
StickDNA rule: a closest-retail comparison is not automatically an exact equivalent. True player molds and pro codes remain separate identities unless evidence establishes equivalence.
