AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is way more affordable and built for junior players who want a quick, accurate shot, while the Code Encrypt Pro is noticeably heavier on price but offers a much wider flex range and better blade variety for all-around play. If you are shopping junior, the Proto2 makes sense; if you want a premium all-situations stick, the Sherwood earns its cost.
