Tacki-Mack Grips

[turcotte44 0]

Hey, i just went to an antique store today to buy a tacki-mack grip. I got thier and got what i was looking for. Than the guy gave me a free blade grip, you know the rubber grip on the stick bloade that only covers the forhand and backhand. Im scared im gonna chip the hell out of my blade at the btoom, if i do how can i repair it and prevent it.

If you're using wood, then you pretty much can't. If you're using a comp. blade then it shouldn't be a problem. I used to use that stuff for a long time. Only problem was that snow would build up on it.

yah, sorry its comp, but im thinking about getting an XN-10 R2 with custom wood. Any special options i should add to enhance durability?

Where did you find the Tacki-Mack grips, thats what Gretz used right? I've been looking for them EVERYWHERE, and still haven't found them, can you please post where you got them?

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

No, Gretz used Jack the Grippers.

I've always wanted to try those, are they avaible anymore? Probably not, but worth a try.

The Jack the Gripper's aren't made anymore but Hockey Monkey has the Tacki Mac ones.

No, Gretz used Jack the Grippers.

Gretz now uses Tacki-mac Grips.

I have bought them two years straight for the sticks we make for him. All of his sticks are custom logo'ed and shipped cut to the proper height and with grip attached.

What ever happened to good old tape??

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

Gretz always used a grippe becasue he wanted the knob to be exactly the same every time.

yah, tacki-mack makes 2 kinds of knobs. A thiner long one and a fat short one. But the fat is is to big so i just go for the long and cut it.

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

I used to use them...I would cut the knob to about an 1/8. They were nice...

I was never able to use them. I never liked the fat ones and I never saw the thin ones.

You would think the Great One could make the sam eknob everytime. j/k ;)

but honestly tho, do these things offer anything as an advantage over tape?

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

Probably a little tackier over a long period of time (you know how tape wears out) and they are exactly the same everytime.

apparently theres better grip the wetter they are

[Miserable 6]

I've heard that they don't hold up that well. LHS said they stopped selling them for this reason. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Which one does Gretz use? They seem to be a good idea, tape tends to get worn after a short period of time and texture tends to smooth out and losse its grip...

I knew there was a name for those things. That's what Schneider has on the end of his sticks. Did you keep the grip, Caine?

I've still got it but I haven't had a chance to use it.
