AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable and gives you three curve options to dial in your shot, but you're paying for it with a heavier stick and a two-piece construction that won't feel as snappy as higher-end gear. The Code Encrypt is built like an NHL stick with a balanced kick and lighter weight, but you're locked into one fixed flex and paying a $60 premium for that pro-spec feel.
