At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and has a much wider curve selection, but the Ribcor 96K is way more affordable and built around a low kick point for players who live off quick releases. These two sticks are aimed at different budgets and different shooting styles, so the choice comes down to what matters more to you.
