Pick the Bauer Nexus Tracer

•You want a lighter stick and keeping costs down matters to you
•You prefer an oval shaft shape for a more natural hand feel
•The P92 curve is your go-to and you don't want to compromise

Pick the CCM Tacks XF Ghost

•You need a flex option not covered by the Tracer's limited range (especially 75, 80, or 95)
•You shoot hard from distance and want that stiffer mid-section driving your release
•You shoot off the P29 curve and the Tracer's pattern selection doesn't cover you
