AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable at $160 but comes in 45g heavier and only two blade pattern options fewer than the Encrypt Pro Willy Styles, which is noticeably lighter and built with elite-tier carbon at a $95 premium. Both run a hybrid kick point, so the biggest real-world differences are weight, price, and shaft feel since one is square and the other is round.
