AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed FT is way more affordable at $48 but you're getting a heavier stick with basic construction and only one curve option. The Tacks XF 70 costs nearly three times as much but gives you a square shaft, mid kick point, two curve choices, and slightly better blade consistency if you can handle the extra weight.

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT Youth

  • You're brand new to hockey and don't want to spend much money on gear that might get outgrown

Pick the CCM Tacks XF 70

  • You want a square shaft because that's what feels natural to you
  • You need the P28 curve option (the JetSpeed only has P29)
  • You want a mid kick point for generating more shot power and accuracy
  • You're willing to spend more for slightly better blade feel across the whole blade
