AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and built for pure performance, but costs nearly twice as much and locks you into mid-kick shooting. The JetSpeed FT8 Long is way more affordable, gives you hybrid versatility and extra length for taller players, though you're carrying an extra 95 grams and stepping down from elite construction.
