Pick the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro

  • You shoot frequently from the perimeter and want a mid kick that loads power
  • You prefer a square shaft and need either 85 or 95 flex
  • You play power forward or defense and value the pro Tacks lineage
  • Weight matters to you and 355g feels noticeably better than 400g

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 1

  • Budget is your main concern and $154 USD is the right price point
  • You want a hybrid kick for more versatile shot types without committing to mid or low
  • You don't need multiple flex or curve options
  • You're intermediate to advanced and don't require elite-tier carbon layup
