Verdict:
Pick the Proto2 if you're a power player who primarily takes slapshots and one-timers from the point or slot, value lightweight feel over everything else, and don't mind paying premium prices. Pick the LX3 if you play multiple positions requiring different shot types, want elite performance without elite pricing, or need lower flex options (40-55) that the Proto2 doesn't offer.
