AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable at $160 versus $220, but the Code Encrypt comes in at a softer 75 flex which suits a wider range of players. Both are genuine pro stock mid-kick sticks locked into one curve, so the main decisions here are price and whether 75 or 90 flex matches your game.
