AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt and the Catalyst 9X3 are both mid-kick pro stocks, but the Catalyst is way more affordable at $60 less and comes in a much stiffer 110 flex built for a bigger, stronger player. The Encrypt sits in a more usable 75 flex range and runs a different curve, so the choice really comes down to who you shoot like.
