At a glance
The Nexus E4 gives you a mid kick point and a much wider curve selection, while the HSM Pro Blackout Extra Lite is noticeably lighter and built on a true one-piece carbon construction for a quicker release. Both sit at the same US price point, so the choice really comes down to kick point feel and how much curve variety matters to you.
