Yeah. Me too. Feels like I have tried them all. Like the idea of the 2.75s being about the same weight as the blazers. Levi did a story on Instagram. I know it was a sales pitch, but it was a good one.

Interested as well
 
It was a little too sales pitchy for me lol. He was just a little too over the top with his description. That being said, I will probably be giving them a try at some point lol
Wasn't too over the top if he talked you into trying them at some point.
 
Somehow I bet if you take Max bond primer pen and glue bottles and do a chemical analysis they'd be pretty much the same thing...
 
I'm hoping to do some high speed video testing of different vanes this coming year, and the TAC vanes will likely be among them. I have piles of vanes and feathers I've tested (without camera) over the years, and my current opinion is if there was only one company (wouldn't matter which one it was) making maybe 3 styles of vanes, everyone could use those 3 options and have just as much success (accuracy) as they're having with their current trendy over-marketed favorite. I've seen some video of vanes "wrinkling" in flight, but I've never observed it myself, and that includes some of the really old AAE Elite/Easton Diamond vanes from the '90's that were supers soft and flexible before AAE switched to the EP material. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the person/company making those video had deliberately "wrinkled" the vanes prior to shooting them as a marketing scheme to sell their own. There may be something to the "noise" thing, but I'm pretty skeptical that a "super stiff" vane would be the quietest option.
