AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF loads power through the mid-shaft for heavier, more accurate shots but releases slower, while the True HZRDUS PX is built for quick-release shooting with a low kick like what NHL players use. The True costs less but locks you into one flex and curve, whereas the Tacks gives you five flex options and four blade patterns to match your game.
