AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF Ghost White is an elite mid-kick stick built for power with way more flex options and blade choices, but costs three times as much as the Code Encrypt 2. The Sherwood is a straightforward hybrid-kick stick that won't drain your wallet and works fine for developing players, though you're trading specialized feel and pop for affordability.

Pick the CCM Tacks XF Ghost White LE

  • You want to save $270 and put it toward other gear
  • A hybrid kick works better for your varied shot style anyway
  • You don't need seven different flex options to find your match
