The Proto2 is 32 grams lighter and gives you four flex options plus four blade patterns to dial in your exact shot style, but costs nearly three times more. The Alpha LX2 Pro is a budget-friendly all-arounder with a hybrid kick that works for most players, though you're locked into one flex and have limited curve choices.
