Point Man For The Devil 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 this is my first post since signing up so hi allhttp://www.tac-stick.fi/looks kind of like old TPS sticks, they even have morrow and nash curves. just curious as i'm from Wales in the U.K and these guys are in finland so not that far in terms of shipping. just hopin they'd be a little similar to my c9 or slowly degrading r8lite sticks. any thoughts?

Neo5370 132 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 I remember when I was a kid, they used to make a black wooden replacement blade whose description was very similar to the montreal m-9. Instead of 9 wood/fiberglass laminations it was wood/graphite lam.Chadd, do you think there was any relation between Tac and Montreal. Wouldn't be too surprised as they're both Finnish.

VakarLajos 5 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 there is a relationship between Tac and Montreal. We received the Tac40 wood stick from Montreal. They also have a Tac replacement blade listed in their catalogue. I'm not positive what the exact relationship is though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mik3 1 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 I don't know about the current blades but I know for a good three year span or so I considered a Tac blade in an brown ultra lite as my favorite two piece by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brown jr. ultralite with a montreal m5 blade was absolute favorite. I miss them days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve66 45 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 Tac have been around for years. To my knowledge at least since the 80s, i'm sure a lot of the Soviet, Finnish and swedish guys used to use them along with the torspos, and they may probably/possibly have been around longer. They've always made pretty solid wooden sticks and blades. They are not an upstart like Brooklynite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
