The Proto2 gives you way more flex and curve options for a junior player still developing their shot, while the Byfield pro stock locks you into one specific NHL setup that suits stronger, more experienced shooters. The Byfield is actually more affordable, but that fixed 83 flex makes it a poor fit for most younger players.
