Although there are a lot of 20Ks dressed as Ribcore they're pretty different haha. Ribcore is lighter (from what I've felt), different blade injections and different flex points (the ribs)

The ribcore is made with different carbon fibres than the 20k. The idea is that they are pre-stretched out meaning more "pop" from the stick. The ribcore also has the AI:9's 2-1 power taper which hypothetically means the stick shouldnt flare open on shots. 

 

From my brief experience of trying it out it seems to be a great stick, much better than anything Reebok has ever put out. I prefer it much more than the stage-2 RBZ.

I think official release is in August. At the Pens sale yesterday, there were TONS of Ribcors dressed as 20K's. I only played around for a few minutes with them. Def seemed amazingly light, and the ribs were down where your lower hand might lock on for a slap shot.

Anyone know if they are going to produce a RibCore shaft with this tech?

You both seem to really like the ribcore, is there another stick you found even better?

Do you like the mako?

one is ribbed for her pleasure, the other one is smoother for your pleasure, so the main thing is?

 

 

Which stick are you?
