AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is 40 grams lighter and gives you way more flex and curve options, but costs $135 more and only comes in a mid-kick setup. The Encrypt Pro Willy Styles is more affordable, offers a hybrid kick that works better for most players, and comes in an exclusive signature look, but you're locked into one flex and limited curve choices.
