AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 is way more affordable at $160 and gives you a known, dampened puck feel with the Dual-Cell blade, but it's a heavier two-piece build with only 3 curve options. The Alpha LX3 Team costs $20 more but gives you a one-piece construction and a much wider curve selection across more flex options.
