AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is a premium junior stick with a mid kick and elite materials, while the QR6 is way more affordable, built for a faster release, and offers a much wider curve selection. If you're a junior player, these don't actually overlap since the QR6 only comes in adult flex options starting at 65.
