AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse is noticeably lighter at 345g and brings a hybrid kick point that blends mid and low release feel, but you're paying nearly three times more for it. The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, though it gives up about 55g and sticks to a straightforward low kick.

Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Extra Lite

  • Budget matters and you'd rather spend the savings on other gear
  • You want a pure low kick with no adjustment period
  • You need a specific curve that Bauer doesn't carry, the 19-pattern selection covers almost everything
