At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and offers a much wider curve selection, but the HZRDUS 7X5 is way more affordable and delivers a low kick feel that snap shooters will prefer. If budget and shot release speed matter most, the HZRDUS wins on value; if you want a featherlight versatile mid-kick stick, the Proto2 is worth the extra cash.
