AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is $60 more expensive but gives you a balanced hybrid kick that sits between mid and low, while the Catalyst 9X3 is cheaper and goes full mid-kick for pure shot power. Both are pro-spec builds locked to one flex, so you're really choosing between Sherwood's hybrid feel versus True's mid-kick pop.
