Warrior Ritual M2 Pro Senior Goalie Stick

Warrior introduces the Ritual M2 Pro goalie stick, new for 2022. With many returning features, the Ritual M1 Pro builds on the success of its predecessor, including SlideGrip Technology, a HiFused design, and impact-resistant fibres over the shaft. The Minimus Carbon weave has been improved on the R/M2 Pro to enhance durability and performance with maximum efficiency.

Shaft Construction
The shaft continues to include an Impact Fibre layer to increase durability. Its ultralight feel and balance are attributed to its HiFused construction. In addition, the stick features a Minimus Carbon 12 weave, new to the brand. Minimus Carbon 12 gives the stick exceptional durability and weight reduction, as well as better playability.

Paddle Construction
The R/M2 Pro paddle has an innovative, geometric design to improve the energy load from the paddle through to the low kick point of the stick. The beauty of the Ritual M-series is in its incredible balance and playability, and the M2 Pro has taken that legacy to the next level by incorporating a Minimus Carbon 12 weave into the previous M1’s build. This upgraded carbon fibre weave works with the geometry to enhance energy load, giving you better control when taking shots and passes.

Blade Construction/Stiffness
The blade is where the Minimus Carbon 12 material really makes an impact on the stick’s construction. Warrior sticks have been growing in popularity for their increasing durability and balance with every new iteration. Minimus Carbon 12 strengthens and stiffens the blade, making it more reliable on shots, passes, and rebounds.

Graphics
The Warrior R/M2 Pro keeps to that really clean matte finish with a few colour adjustments. Notably, around the SlideGrip, the signature teal, green, and yellow hash pattern graphic has been extended upwards in spikes along the shaft. There is also a gradual transition towards the paddle, with some silver colour showing. The Minimus Carbon 12 weave is visible in the form of squares along the entire stick. “R/M2 Pro” and “Warrior” have been printed along both the shaft and the paddle in silver.

Grip
At the top of the paddle, SureGrip technology provides better hold and control of the stick. It is textured on the Pro, improving feel and quickening grip transition as needed.

Blade Patterns, Paddle Lengths, Stick Lengths, Weight, Level of Play
The Warrior Ritual M2 Pro Senior Goalie Stick is ideal for the elite-level goalie and comes in paddle lengths 25”, 26”, and 27.5”. Warrior broadened the blade pattern selection for the Ritual M2 series: in addition to Mid (Quick, W32) and Twist (Bishop, W33) patterns seen before with the M1, the M2 also comes in the Wedge (Mrazek, W34) pattern.
