AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable at $130 and gives you two curve options to find what works for you, but it's noticeably heavier and built for recreational play. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a legit pro-spec stick locked into one flex and curve, costs $30 more, and only makes sense if you're strong enough to handle 100 flex and already know you like the T92 Mod pattern.
