At a glance
The Blackout is noticeably lighter and way more affordable, with a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS 5X5 brings better construction quality and puck feel at a higher price point. If blade options and saving money matter most, the Blackout wins, but the 5X5 punches above its price with one-piece build quality.
