AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt 1 is noticeably lighter at 400g versus 478g and brings a hybrid kick point with better carbon construction, but costs $24 more and only comes in one flex and one curve. The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable for what it offers, with two curve options and a traditional square shaft feel that a lot of players genuinely prefer.
