AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, while the Code Encrypt Pro is a known quantity with verified specs, a noticeably light 360g build, and better documented puck feel. If you are an intermediate player on a budget who wants curve options, the Blackout wins on price. If you want proven materials and elite construction details, the Encrypt Pro justifies the extra cost.
