AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is way more affordable at $220 USD and gives you a genuine NHL-spec hybrid kick feel, but locks you into one flex and one curve. The HZRDUS 9X4 costs nearly double but offers a much wider curve selection, a true low kick point for quicker releases, and flex options that cover almost every player type.
