At a glance
The Pro Blackout gives you way more curve selection and comes in at a lower price, while the Code Encrypt locks you into one flex and one pattern but delivers a genuine pro-spec build. If customization matters, the Pro Blackout wins; if you want an authentic NHL-grade stick as-is, the Encrypt is worth the extra spend.
