At a glance
The Pulse is a serious senior elite stick with a fusion kick point and premium materials, while the Blackout Prototype is way more affordable and noticeably lighter but built strictly for junior players. If you are a senior player, the Blackout is not a realistic option here since it only comes in junior flex ranges.
