At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable at $130 and gives you two curve options and multiple flex choices, while the HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec stick built around one specific player's setup. If you want flexibility in how you set up your stick, the Tacks wins; if you want a true pro-grade low-kick feel and JT Miller's exact pattern, the HZRDUS delivers that.
