Just in case anyone is interested, I reached out to Pro Stock hockey and they listed the weight of these sticks as 850g. For comparison, here's what I've turned up in other research:

V1 Senior: 840g

VI Senior+: 780g

VI Pro: 740g

V1 Pro+: 650g

In short, these $99 sticks appear to be essentially the lowest level SR stick.

Interesting that this Casey DeSmith stick appears to have the same "Ritual" graphic with no V1:

I've often wondered the same thing.  If PSH is buying straight from the team, these could be throw-in sticks from Warrior for EBUGs and odd situations like that.  On the other hand, if PSH is buying from Warrior, these could be overstock that Warrior decided to unload at the moment.

IIRC the NHL pro stocks made by Warrior are made in Mexico.  There's more options for curves and paddle configurations.  I think the butt-end cap will have the team logo as well.  I'm not sure how the other pro leagues work, or if it trickles down to NCAA.

Here's some Warrior pro return sticks from HockeyGeeks to show the variety paddle options: https://sourcelondon.com/collections/senior-composite-sticks/products/warrior-v1-pro-pro-return

I haven't reached out, though I guess I should start there. I was thinking the same about them being generics for overstock, especially if they're being made for lower-level pros. If something seems too good to be true it usually is, so I'm assuming they're a step down from the true pro quality. 

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight about these Warrior Ritual sticks from Pro Stock Hockey:

The price is significantly lower than the sticks that are printed as V2 E+:

Obviously this suggests that the first listing is a lower-quality stick. But I don't remember which, if any, iteration of the Ritual stick simply says "Ritual" on the shaft with no other lettering. This leads me to wonder if its just skinned that way, in which case who knows what version it is? 

I've been using a V1 Pro + stick that I've really liked and I don't want to downgrade to something that's a lot heavier. Should I roll the dice with this one or suck it up and go with the more expensive option?

Thanks for your thoughts!
