AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and gives you two curve options to find your preference, but you're getting a heavier recreational stick. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a pro stock build with genuine NHL specs, but it costs more, locked into one flex and curve, and only works if you swing hard enough for 80 flex.
