At a glance
The Nexus E3 is heavier but gives you Bauer's proven mid kick feel and entry-level pricing, while the HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 395g and offers way more curve options if you like experimenting with different blade patterns. The real trade-off is weight versus versatility at nearly the same price.
