AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FlyLite and the Code Encrypt Pro weigh the same, but the FlyLite costs way more and is built specifically around a snappy low-kick release, while the Encrypt Pro offers a hybrid kick at a much more affordable price with noticeably better puck feel for playmakers. If quick release is your priority, you pay for it with the FlyLite, but if you want a well-rounded elite stick without the premium price tag, the Encrypt Pro is hard to ignore.
