Zeme 50 - Mid Bow

The Gryphon Elan DII G26 is a senior field hockey stick built around Gryphon's DII bow, sitting in the upper-middle of the brand's outdoor range rather than at the entry level. The DII profile is flatter through the shaft than Gryphon's more extreme curves, so the stick behaves predictably on the first touch and saves its whip for the lower part of the shaft near the head. G26 keeps that head low to the ground, which favours players working the ball through midfield rather than relying on long, high carries. It's a universal stick, playable outdoors on turf and just as usable brought indoors, and it comes in two senior lengths, 36.5 and 37.5 inches.

The NKD Supernova 50 is an outdoor field hockey stick built for senior players at an intermediate level who want a low centre of gravity without sacrificing stability. Its superlow bow profile sits the curve closer to the head than a standard low bow, which helps with ball control during drag flicks and close trapping, while still leaving enough of the shaft for a controlled hit. This is a stick for players developing their technique rather than absolute beginners - it rewards players who already have a consistent stick position. NKD supplies the Supernova 50 in two lengths: 36.5 inches and 37.5 inches, with three sticks at 36.5" and four at 37.5" in this batch. It's built strictly for outdoor pitches - grass or water-based turf - not for indoor courts. At 165 EUR it sits in the mid-range of NKD's Supernova line, a step below the Supernova 70 in price and bow depth.

The NKD Supreme 30 is the entry point into NKD's Supreme range, a low bow field hockey stick priced for senior players who are still building their game at an intermediate level. Low bow sticks like this one sit the curve further up the shaft than a mid bow, giving a flatter face for straightforward hitting and passing while still helping with drag flicks. At 115 EUR it's the most affordable stick in the Supreme family, a sensible option for a club player who doesn't need the extra construction of the 50 or 70 models yet. NKD supplies it in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch pairs, two of each size per batch. It's built for outdoor pitches - grass surfaces - rather than indoor hockey, so it suits players training and competing on a full-size pitch.

The NKD Supreme 70 is the higher-spec version of the Supreme low bow stick, built for senior players at an intermediate level who are ready for a more capable piece of kit than the 30 or 50. It keeps the same low bow profile as the rest of the range - the curve sits toward the shaft for reliable hitting - but the construction is aimed at players competing regularly rather than just training. Available in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch lengths, two sticks of each size per batch. At 235 EUR it's the most expensive of the three Supreme low bow models and is built specifically for outdoor field hockey on grass or water-based turf.
