At a glance
The FT8 Pro Youth is noticeably lighter and built with elite-level materials, but it is strictly a youth stick with only two flex options and a premium price tag. The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and covers a much wider flex range, but it is significantly heavier and built for recreational play.
