AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF gives you a mid-kick that loads harder for a heavier shot but costs $50 more and locks you into CCM's ecosystem. The True HZRDUS 9X4 is the budget option with a low-kick for faster releases, but you're stuck with one flex and curve that's built for players with serious arm strength.
