AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout is noticeably lighter at 400g and built from pure carbon, but it only comes in two flex options and costs CA$180 with no US pricing. The HZRDUS 5X5 is way more affordable at US$170, offers a much wider flex selection, and brings solid one-piece construction with good puck feel despite being 16g heavier.
