AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF gives you a mid-kick that loads power but releases slower, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 is a low-kick stick built for snap release. The Tacks costs $50 more but you get five flex options and four curve choices; the True locks you into one 90-flex with one curve, though you're getting an actual NHL pro-spec build.
