AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you six curve options to dial in your shot, while the Sherwood is a pro-spec stick locked into one NHL curve at a stiffer flex. The Blackout weighs 325g so you're swinging something lighter, but you're getting a budget layup versus genuine pro-stock construction.
