Overview
The Warrior Ritual M3 RTL Goalie Stick is the ultimate choice for the high-level goalie who moves the puck, whether it's clearing the zone, dishing a far blue line pass, or even going for that empty net goal. First off, it boasts Warrior's Minimus Carbon 25 weave for an ultra-lightweight design and incredible balance in the hand. While featherlight, this carbon construction is built to handle repeated impact as the weave is exceptionally strong.
When it comes to playing the puck, the M3 RTL utilizes a combination of Warrior's Minimus Geometry and Asymmetrical Shaft Geometry (ASG). A unique design in the paddle drives the kick point lower, which quickens your release for passing and elevating the puck behind the net. ASG then allows the shaft to perfectly fit in the heel of the trapper, elevating your accuracy, leverage, and bottom-hand control. This shaft design also makes sliding your blocker up to the butt-end much easier for when it's time to poke check on a one-on-one play.

Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| Asymmetrical Shaft Geometry (ASG) The shaft shape is strategically designed to fit securely in the heel of the trapper for better accuracy, leverage, and bottom-hand control when playing the puck. It also increases shaft durability over traditional shaft dimensions without sacrificing net coverage. | |
| Minimus Carbon 25 This carbon weave is a flat, tightly woven material that boosts strength by minimizing fiber twisting and bending within the layers of the composite. It's designed to be thin and lightweight while still being exceptionally strong and tough against damage. | |
| Minimus Geometry Innovative paddle geometry that drives flex energy towards a lower kick point. This provides a quicker release when making passes and elevating the puck in tight areas around the net. |

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| In your standing, game-ready position, the blade should be flush with the playing surface and the blocker should barely overlap the leg pad. If the heel of the blade is lifting off the ground, go up in paddle size. If the toe of the blade is lifting off the ground, go down in paddle size. |
