My last Ultra Tacks stick just died

Recommended Posts

Anybody know of any current sticks that play very similar to the old CCM Ultra Tacks?

Some have suggested True X-core sticks, and I have the XC9 and I find, while they are a good stick, they don't have as smooth of a flex action or as stiff/lively of a blade.  I've tried the AS1, and I like the blade characteristics, but something feels off with the way it flexes.

I find my 2018 True A-series feels pretty similar to my Ultra Tacks as far as the flex action in the shaft goes, but the blade I find vastly different and not as good.

Agreed.  The True blades have a much more dampened feel than the CCM blades.  Not to say they aren't good, stiff blades...they just don't have that "crisp" feel that I prefer.
