At a glance
The Tacks XF costs nearly double but gives you a much wider curve selection and a true mid kick built for loading up heavy shots, while the Alpha LX2 is way more affordable and suits players who want a more versatile hybrid kick that handles both snaps and slaps well. Neither stick lists weight, but both are noted as heavier than their respective elite tiers.
