At a glance
The FT8 is a senior stick with a hybrid kick point and solid brand pedigree, while the Blackout Blue Lite is noticeably lighter, way more affordable, and offers a much wider curve selection for intermediate players. If you're buying for a senior player who wants CCM feel, the FT8 makes sense, but the Blackout undercuts it on price and weight by a meaningful margin.
