At a glance
The Code Encrypt is a genuine NHL pro stock build with Byfield's exact pattern and flex, while the FuryX4 is way more affordable, offers much wider curve and flex selection, and brings a low kick that suits quicker releases. The FuryX4 is noticeably heavier though, and the layup sits a step below pro spec.
