CCM Tacks AS-V Hockey Stick

The CCM Tacks AS-V hockey stick carries on the legacy of the Tacks line and is renowned for its balanced performance for a wide range of players. It accomplishes this through a mid-kick flex point that offers a balance between stiffness for powerful shots and responsiveness for quick releases. CCM implements a V-shaped shaft geometry in the Tacks AS-V, designed to improve handling and comfort while maintaining a traditional feel. The stick features the Skeleton+ technology in the taper section for increased durability, important for those powerful shots. At a price point lower than top-of-the-line models, the CCM Tacks AS-V hockey stick offers a combination of performance and value.

Perfect stick for:

Intermediate and advanced players who seek a stick that excels in both power and shooting accuracy.

Key features include:

Mid Kick Point	A versatile flex point provides both quick snap shots and passes and powerful hits.
Advanced Carbon Matrix	Better energy transfer for powerful shots while maintaining a lighter weight for maneuverability.
Sigmatex Spread Tow Fabric	High-performance woven material that stretches all the way from the blade to the shaft for a stronger, more durable.

V-Shape shaft: This new shaft geometry ensures a better feel in your hands for more controlled plays.
