AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor Maxx SE is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, while the Tacks AS-V Pro is noticeably lighter and built with higher-grade carbon for players who prioritize pure performance. If quick release and curve variety matter more than raw weight, the Ribcor wins; if you want the lightest stick with a mid kick for harder perimeter shots, the Tacks is worth the extra cost.

Pick the CCM Ribcor Maxx SE

Pick the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro

  • You want a noticeably lighter stick, nearly 70g less than the Ribcor
  • You shoot mostly from distance and a mid kick helps load more power into slap and wrist shots
  • You prefer a square shaft for a more locked-in grip feel
