AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro costs twice as much but gives you a lighter stick (385g), seven flex options, and three blade patterns to dial in your preference. The True Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable and brings genuine NHL-spec gear, but you're locked into one flex and curve with no wiggle room.
