AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable than most elite sticks but still doubles the price of the JetSpeed FT655, which is the clear budget pick. The E4 gives you much wider curve selection, a better-quality build, and a more refined feel, while the FT655 gets you on the ice without spending much.
