AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse is noticeably lighter at 345g versus 368g and brings Boron reinforcement for a stiffer, more explosive feel, while the FT8 Pro is slightly more affordable in Canada and adds better slash resistance through its AluPli construction. Both use a hybrid kick point, so the main trade-offs come down to weight, shaft shape preference, and which blade curve selection fits your game.
