AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse 2025 is a premium stick built for shooting performance with boron reinforcement and hybrid tech that blends mid and low kick feel, but you're paying nearly 4x more for it. The Code Encrypt 2 gives you that same hybrid kick point at a budget price, though it's heavier and won't have the same responsiveness or blade feedback.

Pick the Bauer Pulse

•You shoot a lot and want maximum pop with excellent puck control on every release
•You're willing to pay for one of the lightest sticks available (345g is legitimately light)
•You want more flex options (65-87) and blade curve selection (4 patterns) to dial in your exact feel
•You prefer Bauer's Boron construction for added durability in the blade

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 2

•Budget is your main concern and you just need a solid all-around stick
•You're developing your shot and don't need elite-level performance yet
•You're okay with fewer customization options in flex and blade patterns
•You want hybrid kick without overthinking the tech behind it
