AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you five different curve options to find what works for your shot, while the Code Encrypt locks you into one NHL-spec curve and costs significantly more. The Pro Blackout is also noticeably lighter at 400g, which matters for junior players, but the Code Encrypt is built with pro-grade materials if you want that stiffer, more responsive feel.
