At a glance
The FT8 Pro Youth is noticeably lighter and built for young elite players, while the HSM Pro Blackout is a senior stick with a low kick point at a way more affordable price point. These two sticks are targeting completely different age groups, so the choice here is mostly decided by who is actually picking it up.
