Ritual Response 55

Mid-Bow All-Around Performance

The Ritual Response 55 is built for players who value control, consistency, and composure across every area of the pitch. Crafted with 55% premium Japanese carbon fibre, this stick delivers an exceptional balance of power, touch, and reliability.

Designed around a classic mid-bow profile, the Response 55 is ideal for upright players who want confident close control, accurate passing, and clean striking without sacrificing feel.

🎯 Smooth Mid-Bow Control

The Response features a smooth 24mm bow that runs along the entire shaft, with the maximum bow point set at 300mm. This creates a predictable, forgiving stick shape that excels in:

• Close ball control

• Receiving and distributing under pressure

• Controlled hitting and slapping

It’s a modern mid bow that blends traditional handling with contemporary performance.

⚡ Elite All-Round Design

Like the Velocity, the Response 55 is a true elite all-rounder, suitable for any position on the field. Its design includes:

• A thicker handle for stability and comfort

• Larger edge hitting zones for cleaner contact

• Rectangular shaft sides for improved control and feel

The result is a stick that feels solid, dependable, and precise in every phase of play.

🧱 Strength Where It Matters

The triple-wall construction gives the Response 55 excellent torsional and lateral stiffness, meaning it stays stable through tackles, hits, and interceptions. At 525g, it delivers reassuring weight behind the ball while remaining well balanced and agile.

This construction supports:

• Powerful, controlled hits

• Stable defensive play

• Reliable performance under physical pressure

🖐 Comfort & Feel

The handle is wrapped in AntiShock EVA foam and finished with a Super Soft grip, reducing vibration and enhancing comfort during repeated contact. This setup allows players to maintain control and confidence throughout long matches or intense training sessions.

🧪 Premium Composite Build

The Response 55 is forged from a carefully balanced composite blend to ensure durability, feel, and performance:

• 55% Japanese carbon fibre for power and stiffness

• Fibreglass for forgiveness and control

• Kevlar for strength and impact resistance

This combination creates a stick that feels smooth on the ball, yet powerful when you step into a hit.

MODEL NAME: RITUAL RESPONSE 55 (2026)

• To find the size of a hockey stick, measure from the Belly Button to the Floor in inches. For further info, see the Hockey Stick Sizing Blog.

• The Lower the bow on the stick, the easier it is to get the ball in the air. For further info, see the Hockey Stick Bend Blog.

• Wooden hockey sticks are perfect for first-time hockey sticks. It is also appropriate for people who only need to do hockey for the school.

• Fiberglass hockey sticks are the entry-level composite sticks used only on astro turf hockey pitches. Otherwise, they will wear too quickly. They proved more hitting power over the wooden sticks while remaining soft!

• Carbon Hockey sticks are designed to give you more power with less physical effort. For further info, see the Hockey Stick Carbon Blog.

• We always recommend working up the carbon points rather than jumping up too far. Otherwise, the stick might not feel appropriate when playing with it.

If you want further more indepth information of buying the right hockey stick please check out our Stick Buying Blog Post!

At Total-Hockey, we use the easiest and simplest method, the 'Belly Button' method. All you need for this to work is a measuring tape and the player that needs a new stick size.

To get the right length, this method requires you to use a measuring tape to measure from the middle of the belly button to the floor in inches. That is it, how simple was that!

Now you have the distance between the belly button and the floor in inches; you have to equate that now to stick lengths. You can match the measures sized in the table below and find the adequate stick size for you.

 

The stick lengths of 36.5" and 37.5" are adult-length hockey sticks. If you fall in that category, we recommend choosing the length of a hockey stick on which size feels more comfortable to hold and play with.

We suggest coming into one of our stores to physically hold the adult hockey stick to see which size will feel the nicest. If you can't get to one of our stores, have a feel of one of your teammate’s hockey sticks to see which size is the most comfortable for you!
