The Tacks XF is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter with a faster release you will feel immediately off the blade. If quick-release shots and elite puck feel matter more to you than price, the Smoke wins, but the Tacks XF gives you more options for less money.
