AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro costs double the True Catalyst but gives you a lighter stick, multiple flex/curve choices, and a premium carbon layup built for finesse. The True Catalyst is half the price, locked into one flex with a genuine NHL pattern, and built stiff enough for stronger shooters who want simplicity over options.
