AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Code Encrypt is a lighter, more versatile stick that gives you multiple flex and curve options to dial in your game, while the True HZRDUS is a heavier pro-spec build locked into one stiff flex that's built purely for NHL-level shooting power. Pick the Code if you want customization and playmaking feel; pick the True if you already know you shoot like a pro and want that exact NHL pattern.
