AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 CAD but noticeably heavier at 500g, while the Project X Storm is featherlight at 340g but costs over five times more. The bigger practical difference for most players is the much wider curve selection on the Blackout versus just two options on the Storm.

Pick the HockeyStickMan Value Blackout

  • Budget is a priority and you want a functional low-kick stick without spending big
  • You need a specific curve that isn't a T28 or T92
  • You're hard on sticks and don't want to worry about breaking an expensive one

Pick the True Project X Storm

  • You're an elite-level player and 160g lighter genuinely changes how your hands feel
  • You shoot a lot and want premium carbon construction optimized for responsiveness
  • You already use a T28 or T92 curve and the limited selection isn't a concern
