AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus Sync gives you a much wider curve selection, premium one-piece construction, and exceptional puck feel, but you'll pay a steep $340 USD for it. The Blackout Gold Lite matches it on weight and is way more affordable at CA$170, but you're limited to two flex options and an intermediate-only build.
