AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Encrypt Pro costs you about $100 more but gives you a balanced hybrid kick with elite carbon construction and two blade options, while the Catalyst 9X3 is way more affordable and built on a proven NHL mid-kick platform. The real catch: Encrypt Pro is heavier at 385g and built for all-around play, whereas Catalyst 9X3 is a fixed-spec pro stock stick that demands a stronger shot to get the most from it.
