At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable at $130 and suits beginners who want a familiar square shaft and mid kick power, while the HZRDUS 9X4 is a full elite stick with a low kick quick release and much wider curve selection at triple the price. The biggest practical differences a player notices immediately are the kick point feel, shaft shape, and what comes out of their wallet.
