AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt 1 is way more affordable at $154 and gives you a balanced hybrid kick with a mid-range feel, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 costs $180 and locks you into a low kick with NHL-spec stiffness and a fixed flex 85. The Sherwood is lighter and lets you pick your shot style, but the True is built exactly like what pros use if you want that quick-release low-kick release.

Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 1

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Dave Bastien

  • You're a stronger player who can handle flex 85 and wants authentic NHL spec
  • You shoot from the perimeter and need that fast low-kick release
  • You know the Mid Max curve already works for your game and want pro-level construction
