The CCM Tacks XF is a mid-kick player stick in the Tacks line.
The CCM Tacks XF delivers accurate shots and feels good in the hands. Its release feels lively, and the stick produces strong shots.
Been using this for a month, playing 2-3 time a week. Love this stick, great ergonomics and blade. Mostly play defense, so it takes some abuse. I will say this stick does chip on the shaft easier than some of the previous versions leading to edges that can tear up glove palms, which is why I couldn’t give it a 5 star review. But overall, a great twig at a better price point than the pro.
As most CCM sticks, product is great. Great balance. The only drawback is they last less than 30 days. Good thing for the CCM replacement policy.
After years of hunting for the stick with the "It Factor" I've finally found it!! Grant it....I'm 58 and in a Beer League, but nothing says I can't feel like a pro. This stick is amazing in the hands and the accuracy is excellent!! Loaded slappers and I must say, I wouldn't want to be in front of one coming off this twig! YIKES!!! I was so satisfied with it I've purchased 3 of them. I'll always have a backup. I can honestly say, BUY THIS STICK!!!! You will FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!!
I still have the 3 twigs I previously purchased. These sticks are awesome!! Great feel for the puck, Great snap, and great accuracy!! Do yourself a favor and grab one. If you're in a Beer League like myself where hacking and slashing is nonstop and you're worried about your stick....buy this. They're built well and the worry seems to turn to a positive confidence.
