AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF is built for pure shot power with a traditional mid-kick that loads heavy, while the Code Encrypt Pro 2024 is noticeably lighter and designed around stickhandling and passing with a hybrid kick that releases faster. The Sherwood costs a bit more in Canada but gives you better blade feel and a wider range of flex options, while the CCM is the simpler choice if you just want to rip heavy shots.

Pick the CCM Tacks XF

•You want a proven mid-kick platform without overthinking equipment choices

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro

•You're a playmaker who values puck touch and stickhandling as much as shooting
•You want the lightest performance stick available right now
•You need more flex options to dial in your exact preference (30-85 range covers more ground than 40-75)
