AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E50 Pro gives you way more flex and curve options at a lower price, while the Code Encrypt is a locked-in pro stock build that costs more and only comes in one flex. Pick the Nexus if you want flexibility to experiment; pick the Sherwood if you want exactly what an NHL player uses and your shot is strong enough to handle stiffer pro-spec sticks.
