The Nexus E4 is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve selection, but the Code Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter and built with elite-tier materials. Most players will feel the 70g weight difference immediately, and the hybrid kick on the Sherwood suits a different shooting style than the mid kick on the Bauer.
