The Tacks XF Pro is a mid-kick power stick while the Alpha LX3 Pro is a low-kick speed release stick, and that difference will be immediately noticeable in how you load and fire shots. The LX3 Pro is noticeably lighter and slightly cheaper in USD, but the Tacks gives you a much wider curve selection and more flex options.
