AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 350g and way more affordable at $180, but it gives you only two flex options and four fewer blade patterns than the Alpha LX3. The Alpha LX3 offers much wider flex selection (seven options), more curves to dial in your shot, and performs at an elite level, though you're paying $30 more for 49 extra grams of weight.

Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout Prototype

  • You want the absolute lightest stick and don't want to spend much money
  • You're locked into 70 or 80 flex and don't need other options
  • You prefer a simpler curve selection and trust one of those nine patterns fits your game

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX3

  • You need flexibility in flex options since you might want 40, 50, or 55 flex later
  • You value more curve choices and want a better chance of finding the exact pattern you shoot with
  • You're an advanced to elite player and want a performance-tier stick that still stays light for the price
