CCM features the same T geometry shaft that they used in the past, but they have introduced their new Bumper Technology on the Ultra Tacks Hockey Sticks. This Bumper Technology refers to the reinforced, molded corners of the shaft that are engineered to increase the durability without adding any unnecessary weight. Also utilized is CCM's AttackFrame blade design. This blade design maximizes blade stiffness which, in-turn, means minimal torsional flex, and maximized accuracy! Finally, if you are curious about the kickpoint of the stick, the Ultra Tacks features the same mid-kick that made the Tacks so effective for every shot from a quick snap shot to a heavy clapper!
