Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8S Intermediate

  • You want a hybrid kick point that balances quick releases with shot power rather than favoring one over the other
  • You prefer more blade curve options (4 patterns vs 2) to dial in your exact shot style
  • You're willing to pay premium price for advanced carbon tech and better blade feel

Pick the CCM Ribcor 96K

  • You want the lightest option here and prioritize getting shots off quickly with that low kick
  • Budget matters and you don't want to spend $290 on a stick
  • You like the E-Geometry shaft design for energy transfer and accept fewer curve choices (just P28 and P29)
