AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF Ghost is noticeably lighter, built with elite-grade carbon, and gives you a much wider curve selection, but you're paying a serious premium for it. The Novium 2 SP is way more affordable and still delivers a genuine mid-kick feel, though you're giving up 76 grams and some blade variety.
