GRYPHON COBRA DII G26 36.5

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.

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 DII Indoor brings the DII bow profile into Gryphon's indoor range, aimed at senior players who spend their season on the boards rather than outdoor turf. Indoor field hockey rewards quick stick work and close control more than raw hitting power, and the lower DII bow helps with lifting the ball off tight touches near the boards without sacrificing too much flat-stick passing. G26 places this stick within Gryphon's Striker build, keeping it in line with the rest of that range's balance and feel. It's built specifically for indoor use rather than as a universal stick, so it isn't intended for regular outdoor turf sessions. Two lengths are available, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch, covering most senior heights, and the extra option makes it easier to match to a taller or shorter frame than a single-size indoor stick would allow. A fair choice for a senior indoor player wanting a bow stick without moving up to Gryphon's Tour or Pro indoor models.

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.
