Pick the Bauer Nexus E3

  • You are on a budget and want a solid recreational stick
  • You prefer a square shaft feel
  • You are still developing your shot and do not need elite performance

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro LE Color

  • Weight matters to you and you want to feel the difference in your hands
  • You need a specific flex that the E3 does not offer, like 40, 65, or 85
  • You want elite materials and construction and are okay paying for last year's flagship
