At the top of Osaka’s Low Bow Advanced range, the 85 model is a field hockey stick built for intermediate outdoor players who want more out of the balance between stiffness and flex than the 40 or 70 versions offer. The low bow curve stays consistent across the range, but Osaka positions the 85 as the more capable build for players pushing their outdoor game further – a stick meant to support progression rather than just get a player through a season. It’s built specifically for grass and water-based outdoor pitches. At 250 EUR it’s the most expensive of the three Low Bow Advanced models, reflecting the more advanced construction Osaka puts into it.

GRYPHON TOUR DII G26 38.5
The Gryphon Tour DII is a senior field hockey stick from Gryphon's Tour range, sitting above the Solo and Striker lines in build and price. It carries the same DII bow profile found elsewhere in Gryphon's catalogue, positioned lower on the shaft to help with lifting the ball into flicks and aerials, but built to Tour-level specification rather than the entry tier. G26 keeps this stick's construction in line with the rest of Gryphon's DII models. It's listed as a universal stick, suited to both outdoor turf and general training rather than restricted to one surface. It comes in a single length here, 38.5 inch, aimed at taller senior players, so anyone needing a shorter build will want to look elsewhere in the Tour DII line. At this price point, it's for players who already know they want a DII bow and are ready to pay for Gryphon's higher-tier build quality.
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.
Supreme Plus 100
The NKD Supreme Plus 100 sits above the standard Supreme range, NKD's top field hockey stick for senior players who want the most capable universal model in the line-up. Like the Supreme 90 below it, NKD doesn't tie this stick to a single bow profile - it's built as a universal stick for both indoor and outdoor hockey, so it moves between a winter indoor season and summer grass pitches without a change of kit. The 'Plus' in the name marks it out from the standard Supreme 90, and the price confirms the step up: at 375 EUR it's the most expensive stick in NKD's Supreme family by some margin. It comes in a 37.5 inch length, one stick per batch, sized for adult senior players. It suits a player who wants one long-term stick rather than swapping between surface-specific models each season.
Dream 70 - Pro Bow
The NKD Dream 70 - Pro Bow is a senior field hockey stick built for outdoor play, aimed at intermediate players moving past their first proper stick. It combines a Pro bow with a more conventional mid bow shape, giving a blend of the easier ball-lifting a pro-style bow offers with the familiar feel of a mid bow through hitting and passing. That combination suits players developing their skills who aren't ready for the sharper, more specialised profiles found on advanced sticks. The blend of bow shapes also tends to be more forgiving on mis-hits, which matters more at this stage of a player's development than outright power. Built specifically for outdoor turf rather than indoor boards, it comes in senior lengths of 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. It's a sensible step for a club-level player at an intermediate stage, wanting a stick that helps with technique without demanding an advanced player's control to get the best from it.
Extreme 50 - X-Late Bow
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.
GRYPHON ELAN PRO INDOOR G26 36.5
The Gryphon Elan Pro Indoor G26 adapts the Elan's DII bow specifically for indoor field hockey, where the smaller court and faster pace call for a different kind of stick than the outdoor game. Rather than an outdoor model pressed into indoor use, Pro Indoor sticks in Gryphon's range are built around that faster exchange of the ball from the ground up. The DII bow keeps first touches predictable, while the G26 head shape stays close to the surface for the low, quick exchanges typical of indoor hockey. It's built for senior players and offered in a single length here, 36.5 inches, so check it against your usual stick size before buying. This is an indoor-specific stick, not intended for outdoor turf.
TABOO XLB INDOOR WOOD G26 36.5
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.
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.
