At a glance
The Nexus E4 is a trusted mid-range stick with Bauer's proven dual-cell blade tech and easier loading feel, but you're carrying 105g extra weight. The HockeyStickMan Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter and costs about the same, giving you more curve options to choose from, though it's a less established brand with limited warranty info.
