GRYPHON SAMMIE-S BLACK

The Gryphon Millennium G5 is a field hockey glove built around the G5 padding system, giving fuller coverage than a bare-knuckle mitt for players who want more protection when tackling. Finished in black and available in size L, it wraps padding across the knuckles and back of the hand while keeping the palm workable for stick control. Three variants are listed under this size, so there's a choice of fit within L. It's a solid option for players who find a slim mitt too exposed but don't want the stiffness of a full outfield glove.

The Gryphon Mini Freddie-MF in Teal is a scaled-down field hockey stick built for young or beginner players who need something smaller than a full senior length. It carries over the head shape and balance of Gryphon's adult sticks, just built down in size and weight so first touches and swings feel natural rather than awkward. The teal finish sets it apart from the black and Ice Blue versions, useful for telling sticks apart in a family or team kit bag. It comes as a single, universal-fit stick with no indoor/outdoor split, moving easily between playground practice, early training sessions and casual turf games. A good option for a child's first proper stick, built to behave like the real thing rather than a scaled-back toy.

The Gryphon Finnie-F is a lighter toe guard for a field hockey shoe, sitting below the Dannie-D in Gryphon's range and built for players who want some protection over the toe without paying for 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 sage green.

Naked Tape from NKD is a grip tape built for one job: extra stickiness where you need it most. Apply a strip to the face of your field hockey stick and your drag flick technique gets a noticeable lift in traction. Wrap it below your right hand's position instead, and it tightens your grip through fast stick work and tackles. The tape was developed and tested by professional player Felix Denayer, so the tackiness level comes from match use rather than guesswork. It ships as a single roll, no size or colour options, and works with any stick regardless of bow or level. At 8.50 EUR it's a cheap way to fix a slipping grip before it costs you a goal.
