At a glance
The Blackout and the HZRDUS 7X5 are both 400g low-kick elite sticks, but the HZRDUS gives you way more flex options and a more proven carbon construction, while the Blackout is way more affordable in CAD and carries the Pavel Barber signature appeal. The bigger practical difference is flex selection: the HZRDUS covers nearly every player type, the Blackout only comes in 50 or 70.
