At a glance
The Value Blackout is way more affordable at CA$80 and comes with a much wider curve selection, but the Novium 2 is noticeably lighter at 417g versus 500g and steps up to elite-grade carbon with a mid kick for more shot power. If budget is the priority, the Blackout wins easily, but the Novium 2 is a serious performance upgrade for players ready to spend more.
