AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Encrypt Pro Willy Styles is a way more refined, noticeably lighter elite stick with a much wider flex and curve selection, while the Playrite is a bare-bones beginner stick that costs a fraction of the price. If you have any serious experience on the ice, these two are not really competing for the same player.
