Truth 80 GK stick

The NKD Truth 80 is a dedicated goalkeeper stick, built differently from an outfield field hockey stick to cope with blocking, clearing and quick reflex saves rather than dribbling or flicking. NKD builds it as a universal model rather than tying it to a specific pitch surface, so it works for goalkeepers training and playing across indoor and outdoor set-ups. The construction is aimed squarely at demanding goalkeepers, since a keeper’s stick takes repeated direct hits from shots rather than controlled touches. It’s supplied in a single 36.5 inch length, one stick per batch, sized for adult goalkeepers rather than juniors. At 225 EUR it sits at the higher end for goalkeeper sticks, reflecting the durable build aimed at players facing shots regularly rather than occasional net-minders. It’s a specialist purchase, not something an outfield player would reach for, but a natural upgrade for a keeper outgrowing a beginner stick.
