AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E3 is way more affordable at $130 and gives you three curve choices, but it's noticeably heavier and has a mid kick that won't fire as fast as the True. The True 9X4 is a genuine NHL stick with a low kick for lightning-quick releases, but it costs more and locks you into one stiff flex and one curve with no options.
