AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout is way more affordable at CA$180 versus CA$430 for the Project X, but the Project X is noticeably lighter at 340g compared to 400g. If budget matters and you want more flex options including a very light 50 flex, the Blackout makes sense, but if you want the lightest possible stick and can spend the money, the Project X is the real deal.
