At a glance
The Sherwood Playrite is way more affordable and built to last through learning, while the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout gives you better kick feel and more curve options if you can spend the extra cash. The price gap is huge (roughly triple for the HockeyStickMan), but you're also getting a stick designed for actual performance tuning versus basic recreational gear.
