At a glance
The FlyPro 2025 is noticeably lighter at 400g and built with premium materials, but the Value Blackout is way more affordable at under $80 CAD and offers a much wider curve selection. If budget is tight or you want to experiment with patterns, the Blackout makes sense, but if you want a proper performance stick with a fast release, the FlyPro earns its price.
