AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt has a hybrid kick that splits the difference between power and control, while the True Catalyst 9X3 leans harder into mid-kick shooting power. The Catalyst is $60 cheaper and comes in a stiffer flex (100 vs 75), so it's built for pure shot velocity if you can handle the extra stiffness.
