At a glance
The Tacks AS-V Pro is a noticeably lighter stick built for shooting and power play performance, but costs more than three times as much as the Blackout. The Blackout is way more affordable and gives you more curve options, but weighs almost 150g more and uses older carbon construction that won't feel as responsive.
