At a glance
The FT8 Pro Youth is noticeably lighter at 209g and carries elite-level construction, but the HSM Pro Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection with three flex options instead of two. If budget and variety matter, the Blackout has a clear edge, but if raw performance and weight savings are the priority, the FT8 Pro wins.
