Pick the CCM Tacks XF Pro

  • You need a stick that handles all shot types equally well with its mid-kick design
  • You shoot hard and want maximum power loading from the V-Shape geometry
  • You want to choose from 9 flex options and 4 blade curves to dial in your exact specs

Pick the True Project X

  • You're a sniper who wants quick-release wrist shots and snap shots
  • Weight matters more to you than having curve options (333g vs 375g is noticeable)
  • You want to save $200 and don't need the extra features of an elite stick
