AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable at $160 and gives you three curve options to find what works for your shot, but it's noticeably heavier at 430g. The JetSpeed FT8 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL stick that's built lighter with one fixed curve, costs $130 more, and only makes sense if you already know you want that exact pattern and can handle a stiffer flex.
