AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout is way more affordable at CA$180 and plays as a low-kick sniper stick, while the Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 360g and gives you a hybrid kick with much wider flex and curve selection. If budget and a pure low-kick release matter most, the Blackout wins; if you want the lightest possible stick with more setup options, the Encrypt Pro is worth the extra CA$80.
