The Code Encrypt 2 is way more affordable and gives you three flex options plus two blade patterns to dial in your fit, while the Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec build with pro-level layup and a locked-in 105 flex. If you want flexibility in setup, the Sherwood wins; if you want a pro-grade stick at a reasonable price, the True delivers.
