AI Breakdown

The Pro Blackout Red Lite is built for young junior players learning to shoot, while the RPG-Pro Boron is built for older competitive players chasing elite performance and durability.

•Weight: RPG-Pro Boron is 20g lighter at 345g
•Flex: Blackout covers junior ranges (20-40), RPG-Pro covers adult ranges (70-85), so these serve completely different age groups
•Material: RPG-Pro uses 24K carbon plus boron reinforcement vs the Blackout's 18K carbon, making it the stronger and more refined build

Pick the Blackout Red Lite if you are buying for a young junior player who needs low flex options and you want to keep costs reasonable at CA$120.

Pick the RPG-Pro Boron if you are an adult or older teen competitive player who wants a custom-built, ultra-light stick with better durability and can spend CA$185.

These sticks are not really competing with each other given the flex ranges.
