At a glance
The Ribcor 96K is way more affordable at $180 and gives you a pure low kick release, while the Encrypt Pro Miami LE is noticeably lighter at 385g and brings an elite hybrid kick at nearly double the price. If quick snap shots on a budget matter more than shaving grams, the Ribcor wins, but the Sherwood is a serious stick underneath the flashy colourway.
