The Taboo XLB Indoor is a wood field hockey stick built specifically for the indoor game, where Gryphon’s Taboo line sits as a more traditional alternative to its composite sticks. Wood construction gives a different feel through contact than carbon or fibreglass builds – typically softer on receiving the ball, with less rebound off the head – which suits players who prefer a classic touch on indoor boards. XLB marks the bow used on this model, and G26 keeps it in line with Gryphon’s broader stick numbering. Built for senior players, it’s offered in two lengths, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. Because it’s wood rather than composite, it tends to suit indoor formats where the emphasis is on control and trapping rather than the hardest possible hit, making it a fit for players who grew up on wood sticks and never fully moved across to composite.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
