AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 385g and has a much wider flex range including junior options, but costs $130 more than the HZRDUS 7X5. The HZRDUS is way more affordable with a low kick point built for quick-release snipers, though you give up some weight and get a shorter warranty.
