The Code Encrypt 2 is way more affordable at $126 and suits developing players who want a hybrid kick feel, while the HZRDUS 5X5 costs $44 more but brings one-piece construction, a foam core blade, and a much wider flex selection. Most players will notice the HZRDUS has better puck feel and more flex options, though neither stick is particularly light.
