AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor 96K is way more affordable and gives you more curve and flex options, while the Project X Storm is noticeably lighter and built with premium materials for elite-level performance. The price gap is massive, so you need to decide if 110 grams and elite construction are worth roughly double the cost.
