At a glance
The FT8 Pro is noticeably lighter and offers a much wider curve selection, but the Tkachuk pro stock is way more affordable and gives you a genuine NHL-spec build for less than half the price. If curve flexibility and verified weight matter, the FT8 Pro wins; if you want pro-stock authenticity on a budget and Tkachuk's pattern works for you, the Encrypt is the obvious grab.
