The Value Blackout is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS 3X5 brings better construction quality with its one-piece carbon fiberglass build and PASS foam core for noticeably better puck feel. Both sit at low kick and nearly identical weight, so the real decision comes down to price versus build quality and blade options.
