At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and gives you a much wider curve selection, but the Encrypt Pro costs less and delivers a hybrid kick point that suits a broader range of shot types. If weight and versatility from anywhere on the ice matter most, the Proto2 wins, but the Sherwood is the better value and a more forgiving shooter.
