noodle3872 40 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Yes, tape rolled sticky side out on an old shaft has been used for ages to add tack. I saw a Pro Stock Kane in a store last year and if memory serves me correctly the curve is more of a mid-curve with a slightly open face. The blade itself was quite long too.

AndTheySayChiCity 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 sweet! i had a feeling that's what he did with the tacki mac. i tape the grip of my sticks that same exact way.. i guess i'll have to go out and get tackimac. that's the ribbed wrapped grip?damn. if only i could get my hands on a shanny (i used them all the way up until they stopped making them) i knew i should have bought up the random ones i would see at Dicks Sporting Goods back in the day. even if they were shitty ABS/fiberglass blades. i could have always gotten them remade as 'custom' patterns. so the pattern is the old shanny clone (6 lie).. but is it the same lie?

JR Boucicaut 3808 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Yep wrapped texture long, I measure how long I want it and cut the bottom off with a razor blade. Then (before the glue is set) I slide it down further and cut the butt end to about 1/8" then push it back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Off topic, is the Tacki Mac grip much thicker than tape on the shaft? MikeI thought it was too thick for comfort. BUT I'm really picky about stupid things like that, I have double taped certain sticks just for added thickness... Odd how patterns don't matter to mean nearly as much as the tape job.

JR Boucicaut 3808 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Depends on the grip. The sand is pretty thick, the wrapped is the thinnest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBLfan 25 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 I will try that one next time, it's a great product I just couldnt get comfortable with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 If I find those I may try that cutting off the knob method because I don't use one either. I just put 4 strips of tape (one for each side) and then wrap over them and I'm done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarick 5 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 I still have no idea how you get those grips on the stick. I've tried it three times and it's always 30 minutes of trying to fit the damn thing on and then it rips. And two of those were on intermediate sticks.

Jarick 5 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Material's too thick to do that, unfortunately. Unless I'm supposed to be buying "Magnum" sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 I'd have to hold one before I bought it. I'm picky about how it feels in my hand, too tacky and it will bother me. I use my grip style to make the stick bigger in my hands and spiral ribs for a bit of grip. I've never had a problem with cloth tape, it just takes too long to get feeling right. Out of the 10 sticks I have grips on right now maybe 3 feel good enough for me to not think about it during a game.http://www.tackimac.com/hockey/instructions.htmlInstallation instructions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3808 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 You put the double-sided adhesive tape on the shaftRun some hot waterDip the taped part in water, then rub it with your fingers for about 20 secondsDip the grip in the waterStretch it over the shaft, once it fits, slide it down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
