At a glance
The CCM Tacks AS-V Pro costs $90 more but gives you a proven mid-kick stick with pro-level performance and just two better blade options, while the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Red Lite is way more affordable and offers five different curve choices with a low kick that releases faster. The Tacks is 10 grams lighter and built on established technology, but if you want maximum curve selection and low price, the HockeyStickMan wins.
