At a glance
The Proto2 is a true senior elite stick with boron-reinforced carbon and a mid kick, while the Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter, way more affordable, and offers a much wider curve selection in an intermediate build. The main trade-off is senior-level construction and brand pedigree versus a lighter stick at less than half the price.
