At a glance
The Pro Blackout is way more affordable at $170 CAD and gives you 6 different curve options to find your preferred blade pattern, while the Sherwood is a genuine pro-spec stick locked into one fixed flex and curve that costs significantly more. The Blackout is lighter at 325g, but the Sherwood is built to NHL standards if you want that pro-level stiffness and performance.
