At a glance
The Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro is $60 more expensive than the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro, but both are stiff pro-spec sticks with mid-point kicks built for NHL shooters. The real difference is that Sherwood uses a balanced hybrid kick while True leans into mid-kick power, so your choice depends on whether you want versatility or a stick optimized specifically for shot generation.
