At a glance
The Ribcor 96K is way more affordable and gives you a pure low kick release, while the Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter at 360g versus 450g and suits players who want elite puck feel with a hybrid kick. If budget matters and you want a dedicated quick-release stick, the CCM wins, but the Sherwood is a serious upgrade in feel and weight for the extra cost.
