AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt has a hybrid kick that sits between low and mid, while the True Catalyst runs a pure mid kick for more load and snap on your shot. The Sherwood costs $30 more, but the Catalyst's 85 flex is noticeably stiffer than the Sherwood's 55 flex, so pick based on your shot strength and how you like the puck to feel off the blade.
