At a glance
The Code Encrypt is way more affordable at $190 USD and gives you a proven NHL-spec hybrid kick, but you're locked into one flex and one curve. The HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter at 360g with a much wider curve selection and a faster low-kick release, but you'll pay nearly double for it.
