The Pulse 2025 is a premium retail stick with a hybrid kick that blends mid and low kick feel, while the Code Encrypt is a pro stock build at half the price with a simpler, fixed hybrid setup. The Pulse gives you way more flex options and blade patterns to dial in your shot, but you're paying for it and getting a lighter stick that's built to retail specs.
