The Proto2 is built with higher-end materials and is noticeably better constructed, but the Alpha LX3 Comp is way more affordable and offers a much wider flex selection for growing players. The main trade-off is paying a premium for elite carbon and a mid kick versus saving serious money for a solid hybrid-kick stick that covers more flex options.
