AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 gives you a mid-kick feel with way more curve selection and a boron-reinforced build, while the Trigger 9 Pro is built purely around a fast low-kick release for forwards who shoot quick. Both weigh the same and are priced similarly, so the real decision comes down to kick point and how you shoot.
