At a glance
The Nexus Tracer costs more than twice as much as the Blackout Prototype but gives you a proven elite stick with minimal weight and three solid blade patterns. The Blackout is way more affordable, slightly lighter, and offers nine curve options, but it's an unproven prototype with limited flex choices and no clear performance track record.
