AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E3 is way more affordable and works well for beginners, but the Pro Blackout Green Lite is noticeably lighter at 365g versus 451g and brings a hybrid kick point that suits players who want quicker release. The Blackout also offers a much wider curve selection including the P29 and two W-series options the Nexus E3 simply does not have.
