AI Breakdown

At a glance

The XF is the premium performance stick built for shooters who want maximum power and curve options, while the XF 70 2025 is a budget-friendly entry point into the Tacks line that trades some technology and curve selection for an $100 price difference. Both have mid-kick points for loading power, but the performance XF gives you more flex choices and blade tech in exchange for being heavier and costing significantly more.

Pick the CCM Tacks XF

  • You shoot frequently and want the best mid-kick loading feel with advanced blade technology
  • You need flex options beyond 40, 50, 55 (goes up to 75) for a specific preference
  • You prefer P88 or P90TM curves not available in the 2025 model
  • You're willing to pay for performance-tier construction and materials

Pick the CCM Tacks XF 70

  • You're new to hockey or play recreationally and don't need elite-level tech
  • Budget matters more than having every curve option available
  • You prefer a traditional square shaft feel and P28/P29 curves cover what you need
  • You want a recognizable Tacks stick without the premium price tag
