Update: CCM Tacks Sticks are now available for pre-order! Click here to buy yours! Sticks will ship July 18th!
Nathan MacKinnon is quickly turning into one of our favorite people to follow on social media. Why? Because earlier today he unveiled the brand new CCM Tacks stick.
The new CCM Tacks stick features a great black look with yellow accents to match the Tacks skates. From the picture, it appears as though it is a matte black being used.
CCM’s new Tacks stick will offer a mid kick point to provide great pop on shots and easy control on saucer passes. The CCM Tacks stick will also utilize CCM’s new Attackframe blade. The new blade will help to create a more accurate shot with additional stiffness to help reduce torsion and bending while shooting.
The new CCM Tacks stick will weigh in at only 430 grams. The shaft will use CCM’s T Geometry which is the preferred shape by many NHL players for control and accuracy, according to CCM. The Tacks stick will also have a full grip shaft with strategically placed texture zones for improved feel and control.
Check out the upcoming CCM Tacks stick below and drop us a note in the comments with your thoughts. Are you going to pick up one of these guys when they come out later this year?
Is it just me or does it look exactly like the stage 2 but just in black and yellow?
Pretty much aha
How do you get all of the specks for the stick. How do you know what kind of blade they will be using and stuff like that. Just curious also do you know when this stick well be released??
Thanks
I heard that the stick is expected to be released in June. I don’t know anything about the specks except that it is mid-kick and that I want it! lol
looks like nxg
That’s exactly what I was thinking, just a slight tweak to the NXG. With the release of the MX3 that is coming out (replacing the NXG) they look particularly similar!
Any release dates out yet?
I get 2 of these babies for 300$
How did you get this if it hasn’t came out
i get the skates and stick for $300
pro deal
How Shaun ?
It’s actually Jonathan Drouin’s sticks, not Mackinnon’s. Mackinon doesn’t play for the Mooseheads anymore.
Mackinnon’s are the two in the second picture.
He lives in Cole Harbour in the off season, which is 30 minutes away from Halifax. He is likely training there.
Mackinnions sticks can’t be the ones in the first pic because he is a righty
I went to the Hockey east playoffs on March 21st and a rep from CCM was there saying that will either come out in April or May…………I also held the stick and fiddled with it for a couple of minutes and it is really light
Those are right sticks Francis , Droin also uses them but he is a lefty, I use two of Droin’s sticks and they are basically a Backstrom.
Nate was here in Halifax during the olympic break.
What is the exact release date?
They are coming out on July 18th
Any idea on price.
Most likely 260 for a senior
Today is June 30th 2014 and the Tacks stick will come out on July 18th.
I went to play it again today and found a small shipment of Tacks!They are awesome!
I won one of these bad boys for free at the CCM skills camp it’s a total blast #ccmskillscamp #tacksareback
Does this have the same power as mx3? or is the mx3 a bit more powerful, i was just wondering because they are both mid kick
