At a glance
The FT8 Pro Youth is noticeably lighter at 209g with elite-level construction, but the HSM Pro Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection across more flex options. If weight and premium carbon tech matter most, the FT8 Pro wins, but the Blackout gives more flexibility for a growing player on a budget.
