The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and suits players who want a traditional square shaft with a mid kick point for powerful shots, while the Blackout Extra Lite is noticeably lighter at 400g and offers a much wider curve selection for players who want a quick-release low kick feel in a true carbon stick.
