AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E3 is way more affordable at $130 and offers a much wider curve selection, but the JetSpeed FT8 Long is noticeably lighter and built for taller players who need that extra inch of shaft length. These sticks serve pretty different needs despite sharing a hybrid kick point.

Pick the Bauer Nexus E3

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Long 63"

  • You want a slightly lighter stick with better construction materials for the price
  • You are willing to spend $100 more for a performance tier build and Skeleton+ durability
