The Code Encrypt 1 is $36 cheaper and gives you a balanced hybrid kick with more flex variety, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 is a genuine pro-spec stick with a lower kick point that fires faster. The Sherwood is heavier at 400g, but the True is locked into one flex (70) and one curve, so you need to know exactly what you want.
