The Tkachuk is similiar to the Modano but not a clone. The TPS PM9 is the Easton Modano. This is the pic I have, sorry its a little dark.

That's the one (PM9) I need. Anyone know where I can get one with a whip flex? I have a new M-1 RH Hull I would give for it.

Some people say yes, some say no. Seems to me that Tkachuk is ever so slightly smaller than Modano, and maybe a touch more of a mid. I'm talking the '04 composite pattern. The wood '04 Tkachuks that I've seen are more of a heel, and more open. I didn't like the wood pattern, but I love the composite. If you like the Modano, you'll like the Tkachuk composite, they're virtually identical. I've never seen an M9, but I'd guess that it's the same as a Modano, or very close.

"If you like the Modano, you'll like the Tkachuk composite, they're virtually identical."

When you say composite, I take it you mean the Response OPS?

You'd have to buy the R+ or XN10, the original Responses don't have the Modano-esque Tkachuk. Before the '04 stuff came out, the Tkachuk was an open toe-ish pattern.

EDIT: If you just want a blade, not a OPS, you can buy a composite R2; just make sure it's the '04 model. The '04s are pre-preg, absolutely amazing, and $50+; the '03s are very average, and $40ish.

Not true, I bought a TPS Yellow Response and I ordered it from HockeyMonkey and they had the PM9(M9). At HockeyMonkey they have the MP curve whip in a Respone Rubber. Response Rubber

Also Composite doesnt mean OPS. It means not wood. Other materials such as graphite. When you mix wood and another material they usually call it Hybrid.

That's correct. I felt that it was clear from an earlier post that the PM9 would be Modano-like. You're not going to find an original Response with the name "Tkachuk" stamped on it with the Modano-esque curve.
