AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is way more affordable and purpose-built for junior players, while the Tacks XF Ghost is a senior-level stick with a much wider curve selection and pro-grade materials at a significantly higher price. Most junior players will never need what the Ghost offers, and it does not even come in junior flex options.
