AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF 70 locks you into a mid kick with a traditional square shaft, while the Alpha LX2 gives you a hybrid kick that handles both snap shots and slap shots more naturally. At nearly the same price, the main trade-off is kick point versatility versus a familiar shaft feel.
