AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter and comes with a much wider curve selection, making it the stronger performance option, but the Code Encrypt 2 is way more affordable and offers a hybrid kick point that suits developing players still figuring out their shot. If weight and blade variety matter to you, the Blackout wins on paper, but the Encrypt 2 gives you decent feel at a lower price point.
