Pick the Bauer Nexus E4

  • You want a dampened, forgiving puck feel from the Dual-Cell blade
  • You already know you want P28, P88, or P92 and nothing else
  • Saving $20 matters and you are comfortable with a two-piece build

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX3 Team

  • You need a specific flex that the Nexus E4 does not offer, like 55 or 105
  • You want more curve options to dial in your shot
  • You prefer a one-piece construction for better energy transfer through the shaft
