AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter at 350g and offers a much wider curve selection with 9 blade options, but the HZRDUS 5X5 is slightly more affordable and gives you more flex choices across intermediate and senior levels. If weight and curve variety matter most, these two sticks are pulling in opposite directions.
