At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and built for players just getting into the game, while the Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter (128g difference you will feel) and built for players who want elite-level performance. The Blackout also gives you a much wider curve selection and a faster hybrid kick point, but you are paying more for all of that.
