At a glance
The Code Encrypt is a genuine pro-spec stick built around Nylander's exact pattern and flex, while the Rise is way more affordable and offers a much wider flex and curve selection for newer players. You are paying a $120 premium on the Encrypt for the pro-stock pedigree, and you will feel the difference in stiffness and responsiveness if you can handle it.
