AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF Ghost White LE costs 2.5 times more but gives you six flex options and three curve choices to dial in your exact shot. The True Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable and built to the exact spec an NHL player uses, but it's locked into one flex and curve, so you either like it or you don't.
