Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 1

  • You want a hybrid kick that works for both snap shots and wrist shots without committing to one style
  • You're intermediate to advanced but don't need pro-spec stiffness in your wrists
  • You value staying under 400g without paying full pro-level prices

Pick the True HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock Parker Kelly

  • You have a fast, hard shot and want that low-kick one-timer feel like the pros use
  • You're a strong enough player for a 95-flex stick that won't feel whippy
  • You want actual NHL-level layup and construction over mid-tier carbon blends
