At a glance
The Pulse gives you way more curve and flex options, boron-reinforced construction, and a known weight at roughly double the price. The Code Encrypt Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec build that's much more affordable, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no published weight or warranty backstop.
