AI Breakdown

At a glance

The HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter and way more affordable, built around a lightning-fast low-kick release for forwards who shoot off the catch. The Tacks XF Ghost costs more and sits heavier, but gives you a much wider flex selection and that stiff mid-kick punch that works well for players shooting from range.
