At a glance
The Code Encrypt is a true pro stock build locked into one flex and one curve, while the ACTN3 gives you a much wider curve selection, noticeably lighter weight at 345g, and full flex customization at a comparable price point. If fitting your game to the stick matters more than owning an NHL player's exact setup, the ACTN3 has a clear edge in options.
