At a glance
The Pro Blackout is way more affordable at CA$180 and offers a wider curve selection, but True HZRDUS gives you a known lightweight build, documented specs, and a well-established low-kick release that shooters love. If you want a proven stick with detailed performance data, the HZRDUS justifies its higher price, but Stick 1 is a solid budget-friendly option if you like hybrid kick and more blade variety.
