The CCM Super Tacks AS4 Pro JR Hockey Stick is a max loading mid kick-point stick, staying true to the Tacks family heritage. Features on the AS4 Pro include Nanolite Carbon Layering with T-Shaped Shaft Geometry, Skeleton+ taper technology, and the all new Acufeel Blade. These qualities combined with a true modern mid-kick flex profile creates an aggressive, powerful, and accurate stick that will have goalies shaking in their boots.
Stick Flex Profile
The Tacks AS4 Pro stick features a soft mid-section that allows for a longer period to store more energy. A stiff taper zone maximizes stability and response. The long loading period combined with the stability of the stiff taper zone is ideal for heavy shooters who like to lean into their shots while maintaining maximum control and accuracy.
Shaft Construction
CCM has developed and implemented its new Nanolite Carbon Layering technology throughout the shaft of the AS4 Pro Stick. This new technology is combined with Sigmatex Spread Tow which is a technology they have been successful with in the past. Together these technologies provide you a shaft that is both lightweight and strong, giving you the durability you demand from a high-end stick.
The AS4 Pro is also equipped with T-Shape Geometry in the shaft. This proven square-shaped design provides players with a traditional Tacks feel, and allows you to have great grip and control in your hands.
Blade Construction & Stiffness
Brand new to the AS4 Pro is the Acufeel Blade. This new blade was perfected to achieve the right blend of stiffness and feel. It is still stiff enough to deliver accuracy and control, but still keeps enough softness in order to maximize the puck feel while stick handling.
Graphics
The Super Tacks AS4 Pro continues with the same graphics as the AS3 Pro with some subtle changes. The AS4 Pro has a sleek black base, with traditional Tacks yellow accents throughout the stick.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
With the Super Tacks AS4 Pro - the P90TM is available. Popular with Pro players, the P90TM blends the P28 and the P29 curves and adds a subtle toe curve. Combined with a max height and a lower lie, this blade pattern is ideal for the player looking for an edge on face-offs or to help with tipping pucks.

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
