AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 is a traditional square shaft stick built for recreational players with a mid kick and two curve options, while the True HZRDUS PX is a pro stock stick locked into one NHL-spec low kick build and stiffer flex. The Tacks costs $20 less and gives you flexibility in curve choice, but the True stick offers that pro-level low kick release if you know you want it and have the strength for an 80 flex.
