AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E3 is way more affordable and gives you three curve options to find your shot, but it's noticeably heavier and built for developing players. The True HZRDUS is a pro-spec stick with the low kick NHL players use, but it costs more and locks you into one flex and curve.
