The Ribcor 96K is a more complete stick with a low kick point and wider shaft engineering, while the HSM Pro Blackout Blue Lite is noticeably lighter at 365g versus 450g and offers a much wider curve selection for intermediate players. If you shoot quick off the catch and want a featherlight stick, the weight difference here is hard to ignore.
