AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt Pro costs about twice as much as the True Catalyst 9X3 but gives you lighter weight, way more flex and curve options, and a more refined carbon layup. The True Catalyst is way more affordable and built to NHL specs with a proven mid-kick, but you're locked into one flex and one curve pattern.
