AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FlyPro 2025 is a solid lightweight forward stick, but the Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter, way more affordable, and offers a much wider curve selection. The main trade-off is Bauer brand recognition and puck feel tech versus a cheaper, lighter stick with more fitting options.
