At a glance
The FlyLite is noticeably lighter, way more expensive, and built for elite players who want a fast release, while the Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and aimed at beginners who want a traditional feel and shot power. The curve selection is much wider on the FlyLite, and the weight difference of 118g is something you would actually feel shift in your hands.
