At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and built for recreational players who want a traditional feel, while the HZRDUS 7X5 is noticeably lighter (78g lighter) with elite-grade carbon and a low kick point that suits quick-release shooters. You're basically choosing between a budget-friendly learner stick and a near-pro level performer at a $70 price gap.
