AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is a traditional square shaft stick built for recreational players with options to dial in your curve, while the True HZRDUS PX is a fixed pro-spec stick built for one thing: a fast low-kick release like the guys in the NHL use. The price difference is minimal, but the Tacks gives you flexibility and forgiveness while the True demands a stronger shot and commits you to one flex and curve.
