AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pulse gives you way more curve and flex options, noticeably lighter weight, and a full warranty, but you'll pay nearly double. The Byfield pro stock is much more affordable and gives you a genuine NHL-spec build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no wiggle room.

Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You want to choose your flex and blade pattern rather than commit to one setup
  • You're coming from a retail stick and want a proven warranty and consistent spec
  • You prefer a lighter stick and an oval shaft feel

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro Stock Q. Byfield

  • You shoot well with an 83 flex and the PP90MX curve already suits your game
  • You want a legitimate pro-stock layup at a price that's hard to argue with
  • You're a stronger shooter comfortable with pro-spec stiffness and don't need options
