AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable at $180 and noticeably lighter at 350g, but gives you way more curve options to choose from. The Novium 2 costs more than twice as much and weighs 10g more, but you get higher-end carbon materials and a mid-kick that handles all shot types better.
