GRYPHON FINNIE-F BLACK

The Gryphon Indoor Blockr is a hand guard built specifically for the indoor game, where the ball moves faster off the boards and close-quarters stick contact is constant. It shields the back of the hand and fingers without the bulk of an outdoor glove, keeping stick feel intact for the quick touches indoor field hockey demands. One size fits all, so there's no sizing chart to check before ordering. It's a low-cost way to add protection to an indoor kit bag without changing how the stick sits in the hand, suited to players stepping up from casual indoor sessions to more competitive five-a-side hockey.

GRYPHON MILLENNIUM G5 BLACK S

The Gryphon Finnie-F is a lighter toe guard for a field hockey shoe, sitting below the Dannie-D in Gryphon's range and aimed at players who want some protection over the toe without the cost of the heavier-duty option. It straps over the front of the shoe, covering the area that takes the most contact from the ball and stick during dribbling, tackling and shooting. It fits over most shoe brands rather than being matched to one particular boot, and like the rest of Gryphon's toe guard range it's a simple strap-on accessory rather than a replacement shoe part. This version comes in ice blue.

Ritual's Elastic Pro Tape is the roll you reach for when a grip starts slipping or a stick head needs reinforcing. It's an elastic wrap rather than a rigid tape, so it stretches around the handle or shaft of a field hockey stick and holds without bunching. The stretch gives it enough grip on itself to stay wrapped through a full session, and the elasticity means it can be tensioned tighter at the point where most players want extra hold, just under the grip. White in colour and sold as a universal-fit roll, it's one of those small items that ends up in every hockey bag once you've used it - simple to apply, cheap to replace, useful well beyond taping a single stick.
