AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is way more affordable and built specifically for junior shooters, while the Tacks XF Pro gives you a much wider curve selection and more flex options for a senior player who wants maximum versatility. If you're buying for a younger player or a tighter budget, the price gap alone is hard to ignore.

Pick the Bauer Proto2 Junior

•You're buying for a junior player who needs a reliable elite stick without overpaying
•You shoot a P92 or P28 and don't need more curve options than that
•You want a lighter build that still delivers solid shot performance at the junior level

Pick the CCM Tacks XF Pro

•You're a senior player who wants more flex and curve choices to dial in your exact setup
•You shoot a P29, P88, or P90TM and the Proto2 simply doesn't offer what you need
•You're willing to pay more for CCM's Helicoid blade tech and a stick built to handle heavy use over time
