GRYPHON ATOMIC DII G26 36.5

The NKD Supreme Jr (30%) is built for junior field hockey players, with the 30% in its name marking it out as a lighter composite build than NKD's senior Supreme sticks. It's a universal design, meant to work on both indoor courts and outdoor pitches, so a young player doesn't need separate kit while still working out which surface they prefer. NKD supplies it in 32 inch and 34 inch lengths - two sticks at 32" and three at 34" in this batch - covering players from around primary-school age through to early teens depending on height. Parents choosing between the two sizes should go by the child's height rather than age alone, since junior growth varies a lot between players. At 85 EUR it's a training and match stick for juniors still developing technique, not a stick built around one specific bow profile.

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 Gryphon Tour Pro-J brings the Tour range's build quality down to a junior length, aimed at older junior players who've outgrown a starter stick but aren't yet ready for full senior sizing. The J in Pro-J marks it as the junior version of Gryphon's Pro build, giving younger players access to the same construction standard as the senior Tour range rather than a scaled-down budget stick. G26 keeps it consistent with the rest of Gryphon's numbering. Built as a universal field hockey stick, it moves between outdoor turf and indoor sessions without restriction. Two lengths are available, 34.5 inch and 35.5 inch, sized for older juniors rather than younger beginners. A fitting choice for a junior player progressing through club hockey who needs a stick that will keep up with their game rather than hold it back.

The Gryphon Striker Pro25 sits a step up from the standard Striker line, built for senior players who want a more performance-focused field hockey stick without going all the way to Gryphon's Tour range. Pro25 marks the specific bow and build used across this model, distinct from the DII profile found on Gryphon's entry-level sticks, and G26 keeps it consistent with the rest of the Striker family in feel. Listed as a universal stick rather than an indoor-only build, it's suited to players who move between outdoor turf and indoor sessions with the same stick. Two lengths are available, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch, giving most senior players a workable fit. At this price point it's aimed at club and representative players looking for a genuine step up from a basic straight or low-bow stick, without the outlay of Gryphon's top-tier Pro or Tour models.
