Was moving this week and came across these blasts from the past. Brought back a lot of memories.

Yup, 100% dad market cash grab. What sort of irks me about these things is trying to make it feel like the original, or hyping it like its some other worldly thing they are bring back for a limited time. Those TPS sticks were great at that point in time. I can't imagine they'd stand up to a modern composite. I think CCM got it right with the retro Tacks.

Ok, again, I’m jaded and don’t like anything. But, this is just a brand name stamped on a mediocre stick, right? Like the “synergy” sticks that are a low tier Bauer with Easton graphics and a higher price point than they should have. No one under 40 actually cares if some ancient brand makes sticks again. If this were a new, modern build offering something unique, wouldn’t they use a new name to capture the youth market, who is far and away the biggest selling point? And if it’s the “classic” TPS, why does anyone care about people who have been out of the game for 20 years? And, outside of the XN10 (which, to be fair, people loved), TPS was never putting out GREAT sticks, right? They were fine, but it’s not like they were pushing boundaries and doing interesting stuff and suddenly stopped. Nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. I’m happy to be proven wrong but, nothing about this strikes me as actually exciting.

I bought the yellow original not knowing they were two different quality sticks. I can weigh mine but it's very light, and a good value stick for the money
