At a glance
The Blackout Extra Lite is way more affordable at $160 and gives you a much wider curve selection with 19 blade options, while the Tkachuk pro stock costs $220 and locks you into one fixed flex and one curve. If you want flexibility to dial in your setup, the Blackout wins on options, but the Encrypt brings a genuine NHL-spec hybrid kick that the low-kick Blackout simply does not replicate.
