AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS 3X5 is noticeably lighter and built as a true one-piece with better puck feel. If curves matter to your game, the Blackout wins easily, but the True brings better construction quality for not much more money.
