AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Classic 2026 is noticeably lighter at 400g and offers a much wider flex range, making it the more versatile pick for most players. The Pro Blackout costs less and brings a hybrid kick point plus a solid curve selection, but it gives up 25 grams and flex variety to get there.
