Low Bow Advanced 85
At the top of Osaka's Low Bow Advanced range, the 85 model is a field hockey stick built for intermediate outdoor players who want more out of the balance between stiffness and flex than the 40 or 70 versions offer. The low bow curve stays consistent across the range, but Osaka positions the 85 as the more capable build for players pushing their outdoor game further - a stick meant to support progression rather than just get a player through a season. It's built specifically for grass and water-based outdoor pitches. At 250 EUR it's the most expensive of the three Low Bow Advanced models, reflecting the more advanced construction Osaka puts into it.
Proto Bow 85
Pro Tour 100 2.0 Low Bow
Osaka's Pro Tour 100 2.0 Low Bow is aimed squarely at advanced and professional field hockey players, the kind who already know exactly what they want from a stick and don't need much persuading. The low bow profile places the curve close to the head, which is what most tour-level and drag-flick specialists look for - it gives sharper ball control at the toe and helps generate the whip needed for slap hits and flicks, at the cost of the forgiving feel found in higher-bow sticks aimed at less experienced players. It's built for outdoor hockey, so grass and water-based turf rather than an indoor court. At an RRP of 395 EUR, the Pro Tour 100 2.0 sits at the upper end of Osaka's lineup, which fits its target player: someone competing regularly at a high level who has already worked out that a low bow, stiff-feeling stick suits their game, and is willing to pay for that level of construction.
