At a glance
The Nexus E50 Pro gives you way more flex and curve options with a familiar square shaft feel, while the Code Encrypt Pro Stock locks you into one fixed setup but delivers a genuine NHL-spec hybrid kick build. If customization and control matter to you, the Nexus wins that battle; if you want a pro-stock stick built for a real NHL player's shot, the Sherwood is the more interesting pickup at a slightly lower price.
