AI Breakdown

At a glance

The CCM Ribcor 96K is noticeably lighter at 450g and has a quicker low kick that loads faster off the blade, while the Warrior Alpha LX3 Team gives you way more flex options (7 vs 4) and curve choices (6 vs 2) if you're still dialing in what works for you. Both cost the same at $180, so it comes down to whether you want a stick that's already optimized for quick releases or one that gives you more flexibility to experiment.
