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 snap the puck as fast. The True HZRDUS is built like an NHL stick with a low kick for instant release, but it costs more, comes in only one curve, and demands a stronger player to load it properly.
