AI Breakdown

The Blackout Prototype is built for players chasing the lightest possible stick with elite-level carbon. The RPG-Pro is built for players who want customization and durability at a lower price point.

•Weight: 350g vs 375g, Blackout is meaningfully lighter
•Kick point: Blackout's hybrid suits quick releases; RPG-Pro's mid kick suits power shooters
•Flex options: RPG-Pro offers more choices (70, 75, 80, 85) vs Blackout's limited range

Pick the Blackout Prototype if you prioritize weight, shoot with a quick snap or wrist shot, and want verified NHL-grade carbon. The 24K Toray layup is legitimate.

Pick the RPG-Pro if you want a mid-kick power option, need a specific flex like 75 or 85, or want a custom build. The $5 CAD savings is irrelevant; the customization and flex variety are the real reasons to choose it.
