At a glance
The Nexus Sync and the HSM Pro Blackout are both 365g mid-kick sticks, but the Blackout is way more affordable at CA$180 versus US$340 for the Sync. The Sync wins on junior and intermediate availability, puck feel tech, and a much wider flex range, while the Blackout holds its own with five blade patterns including the P29.
