At a glance
The Trigger 9 is a trusted senior stick with a fast low-kick release, while the Blackout Blue Lite is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection for intermediate players. The Blackout is noticeably lighter at 365g and costs significantly less, but it tops out at a 60 flex, which limits it to younger or lighter players.
