AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, but the Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 360g versus 425g and uses higher-end materials for better puck feel. If weight and elite construction matter most, you're paying a real premium for it.
