At a glance
The Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, while the Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 385g versus 425g and sits in a true elite build tier. If weight and prestige matter most you pay a $190 premium, but if value and blade variety are your priority the Blackout delivers a legitimate 100% carbon stick for less than half the price.
