AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout Blue Lite is way more affordable at $180 CAD with three flex options and five blade patterns, giving you real flexibility to dial in your setup. The Code Encrypt is a pro stock single-spec stick built to NHL standards that costs more and locks you into one flex and curve, but you're getting actual equipment used by Tkachuk.
