AI Breakdown

The Pro Blackout is a lightweight offensive tool built for quick releases at lower flex ratings. The RPG-Pro is a heavier, stiffer mid-kick option aimed at players wanting durability and customization on a budget.

•Weight: RPG-Pro is 20g lighter despite being the "heavier-feeling" mid-kick design
•Flex range: Blackout only covers 55/65, RPG-Pro spans 70-85, suiting bigger/stronger players
•Kick point: Blackout's low kick rewards snap shots and danglers; RPG-Pro's mid kick suits hard wrist shots and one-timers

Pick the Blackout if you're a lighter intermediate player (youth transitioning up, smaller forward) who prioritizes quick release and plays at lower flex. At CA$150 it's the better value for that profile.

Pick the RPG-Pro if you're a stronger player needing higher flex options, prefer a mid-kick for powerful shots, or want a custom-built stick with documented durability for CA$175.
