AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tacks XF gives you a mid-kick that loads harder for powerful shots but costs more, while the True HZRDUS is $70 cheaper with a low-kick for faster release. The real catch: Tacks comes in five flex options and four curves so you can dial in your exact preference, but the True locks you into one fixed flex and curve.

Pick the CCM Tacks XF

Pick the True HZRDUS PX Pro Stock M. Gauthier

  • You want a genuine NHL-pattern stick at a budget price
  • You prefer a quick-release, snap-shot style over loading through the shaft
  • You're a stronger player who shoots in the 75-flex range and likes the TC2.5 Mid curve
