At a glance

The Code Encrypt Pro has a hybrid kick that sits between the blade and shaft for a balanced feel, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 has a low kick right near the blade for a lightning-fast release. The Code is $60 more expensive, but if you're a naturally strong shooter who likes a bit of load in your stick, it's the more versatile option; the True is cheaper and built purely for players who want to snap it quick.
