At a glance
The Ribcor 96K is way more affordable and gives you a wider curve selection, while the Encrypt Pro Willy Styles is noticeably lighter and built with elite-tier carbon. If budget matters and you want a quick low-kick release, the 96K delivers solid value; if you want a featherlight pro-level stick and can spend more, the Encrypt Pro is the better build.
