AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF costs $70 more but gives you five flex options and four blade curves to dial in your game, while the True Catalyst locks you into one fixed 105 flex with a single curve. The Tacks XF is built for customization and versatility, but the Catalyst is a genuine pro-spec stick at a lower price if you already know what flex and curve you want.
