At a glance
The Tacks XF Ghost 2025 is a brand new stick with three curve options and modern carbon tech, while the True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro stock stick from an NHL player's game that costs way less but locks you into one flex and curve. Pick the CCM if you want current gear with choices, or go True if you want actual NHL specs at a budget price.
