AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, but it's missing key specs that make it hard to fully evaluate. The Encrypt Pro Willy Styles is a known quantity at 385g with a solid hybrid kick, though you're paying a premium partly for the signature colourway.
