Supreme 90

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.

The Gryphon Tour DII Indoor takes the Tour-level DII bow into Gryphon's indoor range, built for senior players who play their hockey on boards rather than turf. The DII bow's lower placement helps with the quick lifts and close touches indoor field hockey demands, while the Tour build sits above the Striker indoor models in specification. G26 keeps the construction consistent with Gryphon's wider DII line. It's built specifically for indoor use, not as a universal stick, so it's suited to players training and competing indoors through the winter season. It sits comfortably above an entry-level indoor stick, offering the same DII bow shape with a step up in materials and finish. Two lengths are available, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. For a senior indoor player who's outgrown the Striker range and wants Tour-level quality without stepping up to Pro pricing, this is the natural next stick.

The NKD Supernova 50 is an outdoor field hockey stick built for senior players at an intermediate level who want a low centre of gravity without sacrificing stability. Its superlow bow profile sits the curve closer to the head than a standard low bow, which helps with ball control during drag flicks and close trapping, while still leaving enough of the shaft for a controlled hit. This is a stick for players developing their technique rather than absolute beginners - it rewards players who already have a consistent stick position. NKD supplies the Supernova 50 in two lengths: 36.5 inches and 37.5 inches, with three sticks at 36.5" and four at 37.5" in this batch. It's built strictly for outdoor pitches - grass or water-based turf - not for indoor courts. At 165 EUR it sits in the mid-range of NKD's Supernova line, a step below the Supernova 70 in price and bow depth.

The NKD Supreme Jr (30%) is built for junior field hockey players, with the 30% in its name marking it out as a lighter composite build than NKD's senior Supreme sticks. It's a universal design, meant to work on both indoor courts and outdoor pitches, so a young player doesn't need separate kit while still working out which surface they prefer. NKD supplies it in 32 inch and 34 inch lengths - two sticks at 32" and three at 34" in this batch - covering players from around primary-school age through to early teens depending on height. Parents choosing between the two sizes should go by the child's height rather than age alone, since junior growth varies a lot between players. At 85 EUR it's a training and match stick for juniors still developing technique, not a stick built around one specific bow profile.
