AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, but it tops out as a junior stick with a low kick point. The Code Encrypt is noticeably lighter, built to an elite standard, and suits a broader range of flex needs if you can justify the price jump.
