GRYPHON TOUR DII G26 38.5

The NKD Extreme 50 is an outdoor field hockey stick built for senior players who want to hit hard rather than finesse the ball around midfield. It carries an X-Late Bow profile - the curve sits low on the shaft, closer to the head, which loads power into drag-flicks and hard hits instead of prioritising early touch. That kind of bow suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and are looking to add power, rather than complete beginners still learning basic stick control. It rewards a full, committed swing more than a delicate touch. It comes in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch lengths, sized for senior outdoor hockey. Choose the length that matches your height and grip rather than automatically taking the longer option - extra reach only helps if you can still control the head through contact.

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.

The NKD Supernova 70 pushes the superlow bow concept further, aimed at senior outdoor players who already play at an intermediate level and want more precision out of the curve. The lower the bow sits toward the head, the easier it becomes to get under the ball for flicks and aerial passes, and that's the trade this stick is built around. It's a heavier investment than the Supernova 50 - at 245 EUR - which reflects the deeper bow shaping. Sizes run 36.5 inches and 37.5 inches, supplied as one stick at 36.5" and two at 37.5" per batch. Like the rest of the Supernova range it's an outdoor-only field hockey stick, made for grass and water-based turf rather than indoor courts. Players moving up from a standard low bow will notice the difference in how the ball sits on the face during a drag flick.

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.
