AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout is way more affordable and gives you way more curve options to dial in your shot, but it's noticeably heavier at 500g. The Code Encrypt 2 offers a smoother hybrid kick point and comes in lighter flex options if you're still building up your shot, though you're limited to just two blade patterns.
