AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FT8S gives you way more curve options and a hybrid kick point that works for more shot types, while the AS-V Pro is a proven mid-kick stick with pro-grade carbon that's noticeably more affordable and better suited to power-oriented players. If you shoot from distance or want a dedicated mid kick, the AS-V Pro wins on price and feel, but the FT8S is the more versatile stick.
