AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable and gives you three curve options to dial in your shot, but it's noticeably heavier at 430g. The True HZRDUS 9X4 is a pro-spec stick with a low kick for faster release, though you're locked into one flex and curve, and it's built stiff enough that you need real shot power to load it properly.
