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.

Red Bull Touch 50
The NKD Red Bull Touch 50 is a senior field hockey stick built around ball control rather than raw power, as the name suggests. It's positioned as a universal stick, suited to indoor and outdoor play rather than being optimised for one format. That versatility makes it a fit for players who want one stick to cover club training, indoor winter sessions and outdoor league matches without keeping two sticks in the bag. It doesn't push you toward a particular position or playing style - it's built to work across most of them. It's available in a single 37.5 inch length, the standard reach for most senior players. Worth checking against your current stick's length before switching, since there's no shorter option in this model.
GRYPHON DIABLO DII G26 36.5
The Gryphon Diablo DII G26 sits toward the top of Gryphon's DII bow family, a senior field hockey stick for players who've outgrown the entry models and want the sharper, more committed end of the same profile. DII itself stays relatively flat through the shaft, which keeps the first touch predictable, but the Diablo build behind it is pitched at a more advanced level of play than the Atomic or Cobra in the same bow. The G26 head shape keeps the working area low, suited to close control and quick releases rather than long carries. It's a universal stick, equally at home outdoors on turf or brought inside for an indoor session, and it's available in two senior lengths, 36.5 and 37.5 inches.
GRYPHON ELAN DII G26 36.5
The Gryphon Elan DII G26 is a senior field hockey stick built around Gryphon's DII bow, sitting in the upper-middle of the brand's outdoor range rather than at the entry level. The DII profile is flatter through the shaft than Gryphon's more extreme curves, so the stick behaves predictably on the first touch and saves its whip for the lower part of the shaft near the head. G26 keeps that head low to the ground, which favours players working the ball through midfield rather than relying on long, high carries. It's a universal stick, playable outdoors on turf and just as usable brought indoors, and it comes in two senior lengths, 36.5 and 37.5 inches.
GRYPHON TOUR PRO-J G26 34.5
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.
Prodigy 15 Jr - Coral
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.
Supernova 70 - Superlow Bow
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.
Supreme 70 - Low Bow
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.
Zeme 50 - Mid Bow
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.
