AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and comes with a much wider curve selection, but the FT8 is way more affordable and gives you a hybrid kick point that handles more shot situations. If budget matters or you want that low-to-mid kick versatility, the FT8 makes a strong case despite the weight difference.
