GRYPHON ATOMIC DII G26 36.5

The NKD Zeme 50 carries the same mid bow shape as the Zeme 30 but with a step up in build, aimed at senior players at an intermediate level who want a durable outdoor field hockey stick. The mid bow position suits players who split their game between hitting and drag flicking rather than favouring one - it's a more forgiving curve than the low bow models in NKD's Supreme range. NKD supplies it in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch sizes, two sticks of each per batch. It's built specifically for grass and water-based outdoor pitches rather than indoor courts. At 155 EUR it sits above the Zeme 30 and matches the price of the Supreme 50, giving intermediate players a choice between a mid bow and a low bow stick at the same budget.

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 Gryphon Tour DII Indoor takes the Tour-level DII bow into Gryphon's indoor range, built for senior players who play their hockey on boards rather than turf. The DII bow's lower placement helps with the quick lifts and close touches indoor field hockey demands, while the Tour build sits above the Striker indoor models in specification. G26 keeps the construction consistent with Gryphon's wider DII line. It's built specifically for indoor use, not as a universal stick, so it's suited to players training and competing indoors through the winter season. It sits comfortably above an entry-level indoor stick, offering the same DII bow shape with a step up in materials and finish. Two lengths are available, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. For a senior indoor player who's outgrown the Striker range and wants Tour-level quality without stepping up to Pro pricing, this is the natural next stick.

The Gryphon Solo DII is a senior field hockey stick built around Gryphon's DII bow profile, positioned as an accessible entry into their performance range rather than a top-tier pro model. The DII bow sits lower down the shaft than a traditional straight stick, giving players an easier time lifting the ball for flicks and aerials while still holding up for straightforward hitting and passing. G26 marks the specific build within Gryphon's Solo line, keeping the stick consistent with the rest of the range in feel and balance. It's aimed at senior players who want a bow-shaped stick without stepping up to Gryphon's Tour or Pro pricing. Available in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch lengths, it's built as a universal stick rather than one restricted to indoor or outdoor courts, so it moves between training on turf and general club play without issue. For a senior player choosing their first bow stick, or a club player replacing a straight-shafted one, the Solo DII is a reasonable place to start.
