At a glance
The Tracer is 5g lighter and $10 USD more expensive, so the weight difference alone won't decide this. The bigger split is shaft shape, flex availability, and curve selection, where the Sync has a much wider range across junior and senior options while the Tracer is senior-only with fewer blade choices.
