AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 CAD and gives you twice as many blade curve options, making it a solid budget choice for trying different shots. The Covert QR6 costs roughly double and has a more refined carbon layup with a faster release feel, but you're locked into fewer curve choices and limited flex range if you're between sizes.

  • You shoot 65 or 75 flex and don't need other flex options
