At a glance
The Pulse is noticeably lighter, way more expensive, and built for adults, while the Blackout is way more affordable and designed specifically for junior players with a straightforward low kick point. If you are shopping for a junior player, these sticks are not really in the same conversation since they target completely different age groups and price ranges.
