At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable at $140 and gives you a hybrid kick point that works for multiple shot types, but it's 25g heavier and limited to two flex options. The True HZRDUS 7X5 is noticeably lighter at 400g with a low kick that rewards snap shooting, costs $60 more, and offers six flex choices, but you only get three curve patterns instead of eight.
