Product description
The Warrior Ritual V4 Senior Goalie Stick is the newest addition to Warrior’s line of Ritual sticks, with the V4 being offered as the competitive level option this year. This stick features a mid-flex profile, Asymmetrical Shaft Geometry, Minimus Carbon, Vibex Vibration Reduction, and TwinSpar technology, all of which is brought together using the Hi-Fused Construction process.
Shaft Construction
Warrior utilizes the Asymmetrical Shaft Geometry in their V4 stick. The shaft construction improves bottom hand control, increases accuracy, and provides goalies with the confidence and leverage needed to guard against heavy puck impacts.
The V4 stick makes transferring flex energy through the stick easy for maximum shooting power and stability using a mid-flex profile, which gives more power and control for hard tape-to-tape passes and long distance plays to clear the defensive zone.
Paddle Construction
Warrior used the TwinSpar Paddle Reinforcement in the, a feature they brought back to their lineup in 2021. This technology increases stability and allows for an easy-loading mid-flex profile that helps to maximise shooting power. In addition to the TwinSpar technology, this stick also utilizes Vibex, a vibration reduction technology that dampens the feel of puck impacts, which aids the overall longevity of the stick.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The V4 Stick is extremely stiff and lightweight, allowing for efficient puck play and deflections. The Minimus Carbon coupled with the Hi-Fused stick construction creates a stick that is performance-minded and well balanced.
Graphics
Warrior has chosen to use white as the main colour in the V4, with pops of black and silver seen throughout the stick.
Grip
Warrior uses a standard grip in their V4 stick. Paired with the Asymmetrical Shaft Geometry, goalies benefit from additional leverage and accuracy, as well as an increase in bottom hand control.
The Twist blade pattern TWT, also known as the W33, is a rounded heel, square-toed, slightly open-faced blade with a mid-twist curve.
