AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt has a hybrid kick that sits between mid and low for a more balanced all-around feel, while the True Catalyst 9X3 uses a mid-kick that emphasizes shot power off the blade. The Sherwood costs $60 more but gives you that hybrid versatility, while the True Catalyst undercuts it on price and delivers a more traditional mid-kick power stroke.
