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 noticeably heavier and has a mid kick that won't feel as snappy as the True's low kick. The True HZRDUS 9X4 is a legit pro stock stick built for speed release with Karlsson's exact specs, but you're locked into one curve and one flex at a stiffer stiffness that demands a stronger shot.
