Pick the Bauer Nexus E50 Pro

  • You want a light, responsive stick you can actually feel puck contact through
  • Mid kick suits your game and you shoot off both weight transfer and quick releases
  • You can justify $240 CAD for a better on-ice experience

Pick the HockeyStickMan Value Blackout

  • You want a functional stick without spending big, especially for practice or backup use
  • You need a specific curve that the E50 Pro does not stock
  • The 115g weight difference does not bother you and durability matters more than performance ceiling
