GRYPHON FINNIE-F ICE BLUE

The Gryphon Freddie-F in black is a compact skills stick built for stick-handling drills and warm-ups rather than full match play. It gives players - from club training sessions to pre-match routines - a shorter, lighter tool to sharpen ball control before picking up their full-size field hockey stick. The head shape mirrors a standard playing stick closely enough that touches, drags and turns translate directly to the pitch. It works equally well indoors on a gym floor or outdoors on turf, making it a fixture in many kit bags alongside the main stick. Finished in black, it's supplied as a single, universal-fit piece with no sizing to choose. A useful pick for coaches building a session around close control, or for a player wanting extra touches at home.

The Gryphon Mini Freddie-MF in Ice Blue is a scaled-down field hockey stick, sized for young or beginner players not yet ready for a full senior length. It follows the same head shape and balance as Gryphon's adult sticks, just smaller and lighter, so early swings and touches feel natural instead of clumsy. Finished in a bright Ice Blue rather than the standard black, it's an easy way for a child to spot their own stick in a shared kit bag. Supplied as a single, universal-fit stick without an indoor/outdoor split, it travels between the garden, a first training session and casual games on turf. A solid choice for a child's first real stick, letting them build technique on equipment that behaves like the genuine article rather than a toy.

The Gryphon Dannie-D is a toe guard built to protect the front of a field hockey shoe from the wear that comes with dragging, stopping and deflecting the ball - the kind of damage that eats through the toe of a boot long before the sole wears out. It straps over the front of the shoe rather than replacing any part of it, adding a layer of tough material exactly where the stick and ball make contact most. It's aimed at any level of player whose boots take a beating in the circle or during dribbling drills, and it works across shoe brands rather than being tied to a specific Gryphon boot. This version comes in black, sold as a single unit.

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.
