At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and comes in a much wider flex range, but the Novium 2 Pro is noticeably lighter by over 100 grams and built with elite-level materials. If budget and shaft feel matter most, the Tacks wins; if you want a pro-grade stick that performs at the highest level, the Novium is the clear choice.
