GRYPHON ATOMIC DII G26 36.5

The NKD Zeme 30 is a mid bow field hockey stick for senior players at an intermediate level, sitting between NKD's low bow Supreme range and the deeper curves of the Supernova sticks. A mid bow keeps the curve roughly in the centre of the shaft, giving a balance of hitting power and drag flick control rather than leaning hard into one or the other - a sensible choice for a player who hasn't settled on a specialist style yet. It's built for outdoor pitches, grass or water-based turf, with a construction NKD positions as able to take regular training use. Sizes run 36.5 inches and 37.5 inches, two sticks at 36.5" and three at 37.5" per batch. At 115 EUR it's priced in line with the entry-level Supreme 30, making it a straightforward alternative for players who prefer a mid bow over a low one.

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.

The NKD Prodigy 15 Jr in coral is a field hockey stick for junior players, aimed at development rather than any single position or playing style. It's a sensible, uncomplicated stick built for training and early matches rather than tournament conditions. Because it spans 30 inch and 34 inch lengths, it covers a wider range of junior heights than most starter sticks, which usually jump straight from one small size to full senior length. That gap matters - a stick that's too long slows down stick skills, one that's too short limits reach as a child grows. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor field hockey, it's a stick you can hand to a junior for club training on Tuesday and a weekend match on Saturday without swapping equipment. The coral colourway also makes it easy to spot in a kit bag full of navy and black gear.

The Taboo XLB Indoor is a wood field hockey stick built specifically for the indoor game, where Gryphon's Taboo line sits as a more traditional alternative to its composite sticks. Wood construction gives a different feel through contact than carbon or fibreglass builds - typically softer on receiving the ball, with less rebound off the head - which suits players who prefer a classic touch on indoor boards. XLB marks the bow used on this model, and G26 keeps it in line with Gryphon's broader stick numbering. Built for senior players, it's offered in two lengths, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. Because it's wood rather than composite, it tends to suit indoor formats where the emphasis is on control and trapping rather than the hardest possible hit, making it a fit for players who grew up on wood sticks and never fully moved across to composite.
