AI Breakdown

At a glance

The main split here is kick point and flex. The Encrypt Pro Stock loads through the middle of the shaft for a balanced release, while the Catalyst 9X3 is a true mid-kick built around generating raw shot power, and it comes in way more affordable at $30 less. Both are locked into one curve and one flex, but that 115 flex on the Catalyst is serious stiffness only strong shooters should be reaching for.
