grip coatings

I've had retailers tell me that they suggest to their customers to either put talcum powder (basically baby powder) or silicon spray into their gloves.

EDIT: Whoops, it actually might be silicon gel, not silicon spray.

Ive tryed Pow'r Tac. And it sucks. Its a really sticky that wears off in about 30 minutes. Ive also tryed Plasti Dip spray wich is a more mild grip. The thing is is that it starts to peel on the corners of the shaft after about 30 min of use. Otherwise its pretty nice. I use it on my synthesis and my zero g's. I just wish it was more durable. Does anyone know any other good ones? ones that wont wear down after 1 skate.

Just wondering, and I know it's not a spray, but has anyone tried that Easton Tackifying (or whatever it's called) cloth?

It is unbelievable! The grip that it adds is better than a grip shaft off the shelf.

Anyone know any good ones(besides plasti dip)? Im looking for a grip similar to the newer easton grip or bauer grip. Not a polarfiber or a rough grip. Also something that will last a little while? Any help?

I use one now as well. All of my non-grip sticks are up to par with my grip versions.

Quick tip: Use a rubber glove or something while using the cloth on your stick. Getting it on your hands while the cloth is fresh takes a little work to get off.

I've done the candy cane taping and have used the tacky cloth.

I can tell you the tacky cloth is much better in terms of matching the rubbery feel of grip coatings on sticks.

is this cloth durable or i can only buy 2-3 of them and they would last a season long??

It's very durable. I only purchased 1 in October and have done 4 sticks and the cloth is still like new.

Granted though, I'm 35 and only play 2 times a week. One roller, one ice.

Assume for a minute that you skated 5-7 times a week, how long do you think it would last using it on 1 maybe 2 sticks?

Oh, and this is Varsity in HS, and a house league on the side.

And, is this any better than TPS's control grip a la Adrenaline Control?
