AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and gives you two curve options to find what works for you, but it's noticeably heavier. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a pro-spec stick with NHL-level construction and a round shaft, but it costs more and locks you into one flex and curve.
