AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and gives you two curve choices, but it's noticeably heavier and built for recreational play. The Catalyst 9X3 is a pro stock stick with NHL-level construction and a round shaft, but it costs more, locks you into one flex and curve, and demands a stronger shot.
