AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a legit performance stick built for serious junior players with a mid kick that helps you shoot harder and more accurately, while the Playrite is a heavy basic stick that costs a quarter of the price and works fine for kids just learning the game. If you're willing to spend the money, the Proto2 feels noticeably better in your hands and shoots way different than the Playrite.
