At a glance
The Tacks XF Pro gives you way more curve and flex options at a retail price, while the Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is way more affordable but locks you into one flex and one curve. Most players will feel the difference in shot feel right away since the XF Pro loads through the mid shaft and the Catalyst fires low and quick.
