AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Encrypt Pro Willy Styles is a noticeably lighter all-around stick with a hybrid kick and two curve options, while the HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock is way more affordable and built specifically for shooters who want a fast low-kick release. The $65 price gap is real, and so is the difference in how these sticks feel and perform.
