Pick the CCM Tacks XF Ghost White LE Youth

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro

  • You stickhandle and pass as much as you shoot, and need better puck feel off the blade
  • You want eight flex options instead of one, giving you real flexibility to find your exact weight preference
  • You want a noticeably lighter stick without paying the CCM premium, even if Sherwood gear is harder to find locally
