AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro Stock is way more affordable at $220 USD and gives you an actual NHL player's setup, but you're locked into one flex and curve with no customization. The Warrior Alpha LX3 Pro 2025 costs nearly double and only offers three flex options, but you get five curve choices, a lighter build at 365g, and blade tech designed to last through heavy use.
