Warrior uses a new Vibex material throughout the stick. This material, typically used in power tools and motorcycles, is designed to reduce stick vibrations upon impact with the puck – a common complaint among users of composite sticks. The Vibex Lite used in the VR2 cuts stick vibration by 40% compared to traditional composite construction, while also reducing weight by 25%.
In addition to vibration dampening, attention has been given to making the Ritual VR2 more durable as well. The paddle of the stick uses Warrior’s TwinSpar Paddle Reinforcement, which consists of two I-beams running vertically through the paddle to give it better impact resistance. The paddle, blade, heel and upper shaft of the stick use Warrior’s Big Bang shell reinforcement – a fiberglass reinforcment designed to give more strength to the highest wear and impact areas of the stick.
Balance on the Ritual VR2 is exceptional, as Warrior has put the fusion point of the stick at the shoulder area. This “Neutral Zone Weight Balance” gives the stick a nice, balanced feel in the goalie’s stance and also makes the blade and handle seem lighter.
