At a glance
The FlyLite is a refined, brand-name low-kick stick with a strong reputation but costs way more, while the Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter, way more affordable, and offers a much wider curve selection with a hybrid kick that works for more shot types. The choice basically comes down to how much you trust a smaller brand and whether that $190 CAD difference matters to you.
