Ritual Velocity 55 Hockey Stick (2026/2027)

The Ritual Velocity 55 is a high-performance intermediate-to-advanced field hockey stick designed specifically for developing players, club cricketers/hockey players, or those who prioritize a highly cushioned touch and exceptional ball control over pure stiffness. It features the exact same elite structural geometry as the top-tier Velocity 95 and 75 models but shifts the material composition to offer maximum playability and shock absorption.

Key Features

• Highly Forgiving 55% Carbon Blend: Crafted with 55% premium Japanese carbon, 40% fiberglass, and 5% Kevlar. The higher fiberglass content makes the stick more flexible, which heavily cushions the ball upon reception, making trapping effortless and preventing the ball from "bouncing" off the face.

• Versatile Late Bow Profile: Built with Ritual's signature Velocity curve—a 24mm bow height at a 250mm point from the head. This serves as a perfect all-round profile, offering enough angle to learn and execute 3D skills, aerials, and drag-flicks without compromising flat hitting accuracy.

• Excellent Shock Absorption: Because of the lower carbon percentage combined with Ritual's AntiShock EVA foam wrap and Triple-Layer Handle System, this stick minimizes "hand sting" to nearly zero, even when catching hard hits or playing in freezing weather.

• Textured Silica Face: The hitting surface of the head features a gritty Silica face coating. This increases the friction between the stick and the ball, giving you a distinct tactile feel and better control during high-speed dribbling.

• Even Swing Weight: It maintains a beautifully balanced weight distribution (~520g with a 390mm balance point), ensuring that the head feels light and nimble during fast defensive tackles or quick stick-handling.
