I just received my TAC-Tic.
First impressions ????
Well, the video that came with it looked as if a truck ran over it. The case was smashed. A quick e-mail got me a promise that they will mail another to me on Monday.
The device itself is a little disapointing at first glance. The label proudly proclaims it's made in Mexcio. There is a leather incased flat spring. It is about 1" wide and 4.5" long. The cutting of the leather and quality of the stitching is on the poor side. When you bend the leather incased spring back and forth it "snaps". As a kid I remember I had a little metal "cricket" and when you squeezed it the flat spring on the underside would click. Same principle.
There is a loop of material that goes around your finger and helps position the device on the back of your hand.
There is a simple velcro strap that holds everything in place.
The most important question is ...... (drum roll) Does it work?
It really works for me. After spending quite a bit of time trying to keep my forward rist flat I thought I had achieved it. I only purchased this device because I wanted to be in on Yoda's new lesson when he puts it on the forum. I knew I really didn't need it. HOW WRONG I WAS!!
My wrist was bending just prior to impact. There was no question. I could hear it and feel it snap.
The total cost, including shipping came to $37.90!
Was it worth it? It does work, no question.
But was it worth it???? I'll let others answer that question.
I can't wait for Yoda discussion about using it.
