Pick the Bauer Nexus E3

  • You are on a tight budget and just want a reliable mid kick stick to learn on
  • You only need P28, P88, or P92 and do not care about P92M
  • Weight difference will not matter much at your current skill level

Pick the Bauer Nexus Sync

  • You want the lightest, most responsive Nexus stick available
  • Puck feel and shot feedback are priorities for your game
  • You need a junior or senior flex option outside the limited E3 range, or want the P92M curve
