AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 gives you a mid-kick feel with way more curve and flex options, while the Project X Storm is noticeably lighter, more affordable, and built around a low kick for quicker releases. If blade variety matters to you, the Proto2 wins easily, but the Storm costs less and loads faster off the heel.

  • You shoot primarily with a P28 or P92 style curve and do not need anything else
