Pick the CCM Ribcor Maxx SE

  • You shoot a lot and want the fastest release possible with that low kick point snap
  • You need specific blade curves like the P88 or P90TM that the Sherwood doesn't offer
  • You have the budget and want lightweight performance at 423g with premium carbon layup

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 2

  • You're watching your budget and $126 versus $200 matters to your wallet
  • You prefer a hybrid kick that feels more forgiving and playable across different shot types
  • You don't need seven flex options; three options in 55/68/75 covers most players anyway
