AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF gives you a mid-kick that loads power into your shot but releases slower, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 is a low-kick stick built for NHL-speed release. The Tacks is $40 more expensive but lets you pick from five flex options and four curves, whereas the True comes in one fixed 100-flex with one curve, so you're getting either the right stick or the wrong one.
