Intro & New Features
Unleash your potential! Strategically created with the elite playmaker in mind, the CODE Encrypt Pro stick is built for performance. The lightest CODE model ever made is equipped with a perfectly balanced hybrid kickpoint. A new advanced composite lay up ensures exceptional puck handling and shooting. It features state-of-the-art ergonomic EVT shaft shape, which creates energized power transfer for puck distribution accuracy and the ultimate confidence on the ice.
Stick Profile
The Code Encrypt Pro uses a hybrid kickpoint, which combines the benefits of both a low and high kick point. It is designed to provide a quick release for wrist and snap shots, while also delivering more power for slap shots. The hybrid kick point is achieved by using a combination of carbon fibres with different flex properties in the lower and upper parts of the shaft. The lower part of the shaft uses stiffer carbon fibres, creating a low kick point for quick releases. The upper part of the shaft uses more flexible carbon fibres, creating a higher kick point for increased power and accuracy on slap shots.
Shaft Construction
The shaft uses a variety of unique designs and cutting-edge materials to provide outstanding performance. The shaft's BlackLine XXV carbon fibre has a 25K weave for robust uniformity and weight savings. The FeatherLite XT layup further reduces the stick's weight by eliminating unnecessary materials in both the blade and shaft.
This stick also makes use of Pyrofil carbon fiber, which was designed by Mitsubishi and is part of the Sherwood Code family. This ultra-lightweight material improves the stick's overall feel and performance while also providing remarkable longevity when subjected to the rigors of severe games.
Lastly, redesigned from the ground up, this ergonomic shaft combined with new EVT gives players a pro shaft taper which allows for greater power transfer in both shooting and passing.
Blade Construction
This stick uses Sherwood's VR92 blade which includes an I-92 dampening inlay to elevate the blade's durability and responsiveness. This innovative technology not only strengthens the blade for increased longevity, but it also significantly improves the feel during passes and shots, providing players with enhanced control and precision in every play they make.
Grip
The grip on the Encrypt Pro is the tactile grip, which is designed to provide players with a strong and reliable grip so they can hold onto their sticks better. This stick also has concave sidewalls with grip friendly corners to provides a more natural feel in a players hand.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Sherwood Code Encrypt Pro Intermediate Hockey Stick comes in the following blade patterns: PP28, PP92, and PP90MX.
PP28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
PP92 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
PP90MX offers the benefits of a toe curve with just a bit more stability. The result is a taller, slightly board presence, more power, and more reliable accuracy.
65 Flex (PP28, PP92, PP90MX), L/R - 57"

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
