AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and gives you two curve options to dial in your shot, but it's noticeably heavier and built for recreational players. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro stock stick with NHL-level construction, but you're locked into one flex and one curve at a stiffer build that demands a stronger shot.
