Ritual Response 55 Junior Hockey Stick (2026/2027)

The Ritual Response 55 is a high-performance intermediate field hockey stick built for traditional, purist players who value a reliable touch, upright stance ergonomics, and maximum hitting accuracy. It brings the smooth, mid-to-late bow structural profile of the premium Response range into a more flexible and forgiving material setup, making it ideal for club players and developing defenders or midfielders.

Key Features

• Gradual Mid-to-Late Bow Profile: Designed with a smooth 24mm curve positioned higher up the shaft at a 300mm point from the head. This traditional placement keeps the stick relatively straight, ensuring hard hits and slaps stay flat along the turf rather than rising unintentionally.

• Highly Forgiving 55% Carbon Blend: Constructed from 55% premium Japanese carbon, 40% fiberglass, and 5% Kevlar. The generous fiberglass percentage yields an exceptionally soft, cushioned feel that effortlessly dampens hard receptions and keeps the ball from bouncing off the face.

• Upright Handle Ergonomics: Features a straight handle-to-shaft alignment that pairs perfectly with a traditional, upright playing stance. This design provides maximum comfort and reach, making it highly effective for clean tackling and upright distribution.

• Total Vibration Shielding: Incorporates Ritual's Triple-Layer Handle System alongside an AntiShock EVA foam wrap directly beneath the grip. This combo virtually eliminates hand sting and feedback, even when slapping a hard ball on freezing cold days.

• High-Control Silica Face: The head is finished with a textured Silica face coating, which generates extra friction against the ball to ensure clean trapping and tight, predictable close-range ball handling.
