The Proto2 is built for adult players who want a featherlight mid-kick stick that handles every shot type. The HyperLite 2 Junior is built for younger players who need fast releases on quick shots.
Key Differences
Verdict
Pick the Proto2 if you are an adult player who shoots from multiple zones and wants elite-level weight with boron-reinforced durability.
Pick the HyperLite 2 Junior if you are buying for a younger player who benefits from a low kick point and needs age-appropriate flex options. These sticks are not really competing for the same buyer.
