AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt 1 is a solid mid-range hybrid that gives you balanced performance at a fair price, while the True Catalyst 9X3 is a heavier pro-spec stick built to one exact flex that mimics what NHLers actually use. The Code is 6 bucks cheaper and lets you choose your flex, but the True locks you into an 85 and a fixed curve if you want that authentic NHL mid-kick feel.
