AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 and lets you pick from 5 blade curves, but it's noticeably heavier at 500g and you get just two flex options. The Code Encrypt is a genuine NHL pro-spec stick with a balanced mid-kick built for someone who shoots hard, costs nearly $220, and comes locked into one curve and flex with no flexibility.
