At a glance

The Code Encrypt 2 is way more affordable and gives you a balanced hybrid kick with multiple flex and curve options to dial in your preference. The Catalyst 9X3 costs more but locks you into one fixed flex (105) with an NHL mid-kick pattern that's built for pure shot power from stronger players.
