gxc999 7 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Almost any type of grip wears off, no matter the stick or cost (one90, TPS A/C etc). The only stick I found that hasn't is the old RBK 7K Pro-lite, which had the "pro-feel" grip on it. It felt good to me, not at all too sticky and I personally prefer the non-grip sticks and tape where I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A2rhino 63 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I gave up on the grip shafts and went with the spray on PW'R TAC. This way you can modify to your likeing. Alot or not much at all. www.powrtac.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick67 1 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Out of curiousity, are your ak27's the old grip version or the current nipplegrip?IMO the easton SE grip coating is awesome, it does peel though but nothing too serious. Tactile grip and Snake grip are the only ones that don't wear on me, but I doubt they are grippy enough for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curious; Why does the new Easton ST shaft only but not ST stick have the tactile grip on the non grip version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5HoleMadman 6 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I love the polarfibre grips. I have 3 warrior shafts with the polarfibre they're great. Does anyone know if that powrtac stuff would work on a blade for roller hockey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A2rhino 63 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Does not work for blades. It is a grip feel not a tactile feel. For the ZTAC feel you'd want to go with a non skid tac spray. Like the Krylon clear non-skid coatingAlso the Bladeshark panels are AWESOME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A2rhino 63 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I love the stuff. It drys fast and has NO effect on your gloves. If I had a retail store I would sell it for sure. I've been using it now since 2004.BTW; If you have a wood stick it works even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Is this stuff doing like an usual grip feel or it is different.By the way, thanks for the helpI love the stuff.

A2rhino 63 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 It's the usual feel. However with that being said, if you spray to much on it you will get a super grip. So it is advised to use conservatively. Let me know if I can offer you any more help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Yellow Synergy grip never peeled, nor did the grip on my Inno Novius shaft. I just bought a new swag of AK shafts, so we'll see how they hold up. x2 are pro stock from Hockey Monkey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 I found that the grip peeled worst on the yellow synergy grip. especially in wet in warm weather.Mine held strong, from using it in the middle of January (38.C) and on the ice (4.C). I lost small amounts only from ppl hacking the crapoly out of my stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Agree on the first gen (MM) Z-Bubbles or Grip-Lites. I still have some of the MMs and they have the same grip (the best they ever made imo) they did from day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A2rhino 63 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 So I wonder if it was a change in materials that caused the Easton Synergys and sticks today to peel. Once again money is always the case.... Why not stick with what works? I'll never understand that?? How has the grip lasted on the NBH stuff? I did always wonder about the TPS Rubber grip? Curious why they did away with it.

Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 In fact, I've had the same problem with Warrior. The first batch of them I bought in 2006, the grip was perfect and very though. But since then, the grip is horrible on them. I don't know what has happened with that???So I wonder if it was a change in materials that caused the Easton Synergys and sticks today to peel.
