AI Breakdown

At a glance

The CCM Tacks is way more affordable and gives you two curve options to find what works, while the True is a locked-in pro stock build with a faster-releasing low kick that only comes in one flex. Budget and flexibility matter for the Tacks, but if you're a pure shooter who already knows you want a low-kick feel at pro stiffness, the True is the genuine article.
