AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is way more affordable at $220 USD and gives you an actual NHL player's exact stick, but you're locked into one flex and curve with no options. The Novium 2 costs almost twice as much but gives you 20 flex choices, two blade patterns, and noticeably lighter weight at 360g, so you can dial in what actually works for your shot.
