At a glance
The Pro Blackout Red Lite is way more affordable and built specifically for junior players with a much wider curve selection, while the Code Encrypt Pro is a senior elite stick with a hybrid kick and noticeably more refined construction. These two sticks are aimed at completely different age groups and price points, so the choice is pretty straightforward depending on who is actually using it.
