The HSM Pro Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, while the Nexus E4 brings a more beginner-friendly flex range and that dampened Nexus blade feel. Both sit close in weight, but the Blackout's one-piece carbon construction makes it the more responsive stick at the same price point.
