AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt is a solid NHL-spec all-rounder at a pro-stock price, but the True HZRDUS 7X5 is noticeably lighter, way more affordable for what you get, and gives you six flex choices plus three blade patterns instead of being locked into one setup. True's advanced carbon layup and blade tech beat Sherwood's balanced-kick simplicity if you want precision and customization.
