The Code Encrypt 1 is noticeably heavier at 400g but gives you curve flexibility and a balanced hybrid kick for general all-around play. The True Catalyst 9X3 is built to one exact NHL spec with a mid kick designed for shot power, so you get what pros use but lose the ability to switch patterns or flex options.
