Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 1

  • You want a noticeably lighter stick (400g vs unknown weight on the True)
  • You prefer a hybrid kick that works for both snapshots and wrist shots

  • Budget matters and you want solid carbon layup without paying pro-tier pricing

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Filip Forsberg

  • You're a pure shooter who lives on low-kick releases and quick snaps
  • You shoot hard enough to handle 105 flex without choking up
  • You want the exact NHL-spec build and blade pattern that Forsberg uses
  • You're willing to pay extra for pro-stock layup and don't need curve options
