AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is a genuine pro stock build locked to one flex and one curve, while the Alpha LX3 gives you a much wider curve selection and more flex options at a nearly identical price. If customization and confirmed weight matter to you, the LX3 has a clear edge, but the Encrypt delivers a real NHL-spec layup that the LX3 cannot match.

  • You care about confirmed weight and modern carbon fiber construction
