At a glance
The Sherwood Code Encrypt has a mid-kick that delivers balanced performance across all shot types, while the True Catalyst 9X3 runs a low-kick that prioritizes snap and quick release. The Catalyst is $60 cheaper and flexes at 80 versus the Sherwood's 75, making it stiffer if you're a stronger player, though both are built to NHL specs for one specific curve only.
