AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and noticeably lighter, with a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS 7X5 brings elite-grade carbon construction and better blade technology at a higher price point. Most players will feel the difference in puck feel and snap, but the Blackout holds its own for the money.
