At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and built for senior players who want a high-end mid-kick stick, while the HSM Pro Blackout is way more affordable and designed specifically for juniors with a low kick point. These two sticks serve completely different age groups, so the choice is mostly decided by who is actually using it.
