At a glance
The HyperLite 2 is noticeably lighter and built with elite-tier materials, but the HSM Pro Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection for players who are particular about blade feel. If weight savings and top-end construction matter most, you pay for it with the HyperLite 2, but the Blackout holds its own for players who want options without spending $400.
