AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is noticeably lighter, has a much wider curve selection, and is built with elite-tier materials, but you'll pay nearly three times more for it. The Alpha LX2 is way more affordable and offers a hybrid kick point, which gives you more shot-type flexibility than the Proto2's pure mid kick.
