Pick the Sherwood Code Encrypt 1

  • Budget is a priority and you want solid hybrid-kick performance without spending $350
  • You shoot primarily off the back foot and prefer a hybrid kick over a pure mid
  • You are not yet at a level where 40g weight difference will be noticeable in your game

Pick the Warrior Novium 2 Pro

  • You want a genuinely lighter stick and will feel the difference at 360g
  • You shoot from all over the ice and want a true mid-kick that handles wrist shots, snapshots, and slap shots equally well
  • You are an advanced player who can justify the higher price for pro-level materials and construction
