AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus Sync is noticeably lighter, way more versatile in curve selection, and built for serious performance, but it costs three times as much. The FT860 is a much more affordable, durable stick that gets the job done for newer or recreational players who just need something reliable on the ice.

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT860

  • You are new to hockey or play recreationally and do not need premium performance
  • You want a durable stick that can take abuse without hurting your wallet
  • Budget is the priority and saving $230 matters more than top-end feel
