AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF gives you way more curve and flex options with a mid-kick feel built for loading up heavy shots, while the HZRDUS Pro Stock is noticeably more affordable and snaps off quick releases with a genuine NHL low-kick build. The catch with the HZRDUS is you get one flex and one curve, full stop.

Pick the CCM Tacks XF

  • •You want to choose your flex and curve instead of being locked in
  • •Your shot relies on loading through the mid-shaft for power
  • •You're not yet strong enough to comfortably handle an 85 flex

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock V. Ponomarev

  • •You want a fast release and that low kick snap feels natural to you
  • •You shoot at an 85 flex and the toe curve works for your game
  • •Saving $70 matters and you're fine giving up customization
