AI Breakdown

The Nexus Sync costs nearly double but gives you way more flex options, better puck feel tech, and a much wider curve selection including junior sizes. The Blackout Red Lite matches it on weight, costs way less, and suits senior players who want a low kick point for a quicker release.
