AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF loads energy through the mid-shaft for a more powerful shot but releases slower, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 has a low kick that snaps off faster. The Tacks gives you five flex choices and four curve options versus the True's single fixed setup, but you're paying $40 more for that flexibility.
