AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E3 is way more affordable and gives you three curve options to find what works for your shot, but it's heavier and has a mid kick that feels different than what NHL players use. The True HZRDUS is a genuine pro-spec stick with the low kick release that quick-release shooters love, but it costs more and only comes in one curve and flex.
