At a glance
The Proto2 is built specifically for junior players and uses premium TeXtreme carbon fiber, but the Code Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 360g, way more affordable at US$220, and offers a much wider curve selection across far more flex options. If this player is a junior, the Proto2 fits; if they can use senior sizing, the Encrypt Pro gives more for less money.
