AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and built with more premium materials, but the Blackout Green Lite is way more affordable at nearly a third of the price. Players will feel the 20g weight difference less than they'll notice the hybrid kick point versus mid kick when it comes to release style.
