AI Breakdown

At a glance

Pick the Bauer Nexus Sync

  • You want maximum puck feel and the ConnectTech feedback system actually matters to your game
  • You need a specific curve like P92M that the FT8 Long does not offer
  • Weight savings and elite construction justify the premium price for you

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Long 63"

  • You are a taller player who needs 63 inches and does not want to cut down a standard stick
  • You want a solid hybrid kick stick at a much more reasonable price point
  • You do not need the lightest or most premium build, just something reliable that fits your frame
