AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is built for junior players who want an elite stick with a mid kick that loads and releases fast, while the Pro Blackout is a budget-friendly senior stick that costs half as much and gives you way more curve options. The Proto2 is lighter and more responsive for young shooters, but the Pro Blackout delivers solid carbon construction at nearly half the price if you're a senior player on a budget.
