It is engineered to be slightly harder than standard international match balls (like Ritual's \"Red Dot\" series), which dramatically reduces surface tackiness and stops the ball from \"greening\" (picking up turf residue) in hot weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRoto-Molded Hollow Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Built using a rotational molding process that ensures uniform wall thickness. This hollow-core design creates a perfectly balanced center of gravity, resulting in a highly predictable roll, true bounces, and precise spin control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAerodynamic Dimple Exterior:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a patterned, dimpled surface that breaks the air barrier around the ball. This minimizes aerodynamic drag, keeping long aerial passes and hard slap-hits traveling fast and straight without drifting off-course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAll-Weather Performance:\u003c\/b\u003e Completely PVC-free and UV-stabilized. The urethane formula is highly resistant to temperature extremes, preventing the ball from becoming brittle in freezing winters or overly soft during summer leagues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ritual","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":64943602532701,"sku":"9362286001760","price":94.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":64943602565469,"sku":"9362286001777","price":94.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5432\/5341\/files\/ball.jpg?v=1781089753","url":"https:\/\/ajsports.co.uk\/products\/ritual-elite-hockey-ball-2026-2027","provider":"AJ Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
