AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout Gold Lite is noticeably lighter at 365g and gives you a much wider curve selection, but you're only getting it in lower flex options. The Code Encrypt 1 is heavier but comes in at a comparable price point and suits players who already know they want a P92-style blade.
