AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt is a straight shot at a specific playing style with one fixed setup, while the True HZRDUS 9X4 gives you six flex options and four curves to dial in exactly what you want. You're paying nearly double for that flexibility and True's blade tech, but you're getting a stick built for max shot speed instead of balanced all-around play.
