At a glance
The Nexus Sync is noticeably lighter, way more affordable, and offers a much wider curve selection, while the Tacks XF Ghost costs $60 more and keeps things simple with a limited colourway and fewer blade options. If puck feel and value matter, the Sync wins on paper; if you want raw mid-kick power and don't mind the price, the Ghost delivers.
