At a glance
The Blackout Pro is significantly lighter at 400g and costs the same or less, making it the better budget choice for quick-release play. The True HZRDUS 5X5 2025 is only 16g heavier but offers better blade durability, superior puck feel, and proven performance-level construction, though you're locked into just two curve options.
