AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is way more affordable and gives you a genuine NHL-used pattern and flex, but you're locked into one curve and one flex with no weight data to go on. The Alpha LX3 Pro is noticeably heavier on the wallet but comes in at a confirmed 365g with a much wider curve selection and a proven hybrid kick through a proper tapered construction.
