Hi guys,

Been considering buying an Adidas or Ritual, Princess or even Osaka, these are the main brands I'm familiar with in Hong Kong.

I'm a defender, with no power for aerials, but my stick mainly breaks down from wear and tear, the impact from powerful mishits and stupid tackles.

I'd be grateful for your opinions on the durability of the full carbon sticks for the above brands, as there seem to be a lot of Adidas owners here! From what I understand, Adidas 2015 sticks sometimes last...

Hi- I'm new to the forum , so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong area- but I have a quick query. I've recently purchased the grays gx7000 micro in the standard bow, and it should be on it's way in the post. My current stick is an aratac nrt 750 which has quite a large 24.5 mm bow. As a national age group midfielder - does it not matter if I don't have a large bow e.g a grays standard bow. I don't dragflick- and I've heard that a standard bow makes pickups and slap passing easier....

Hi, I'm interested in getting one of these:

2)http://www.hockeyfactoryshop.co.uk/...reme-low-bow-composite-stick-2014-bsu104.html

I play on an unforgiving sand based pitch (to say the least) and I find that sticks don't tend to last that long on it - this is why I'd rather spend a bit less on a stick.

I was just...

I recently got my hands on the new GR8000 probow, and I haven't seen any reviews up yet, so here's my two cents! Please note I am sponsored by @Grays Hockey, but this is my HONEST opinion on the stick!

Looks:
As soon as I saw the new grays gr range, I new the gr8000 would be in my stick bag (also a grays ) by the end of the summer. Personally, the gr8000s this year remind me of last year's tour T-Bone from gryphon, which I thought was a stunning stick......

My 9-year old son is really getting into his hockey now (yay!) and we have promised to get him a new stick for his 10th birthday. He'll be moving onto a 32 inch stick and and we're really not sure whether to go for something like a composite Grays GX4000 Ultrabow Junior (which has a MID power rating and MID feel rating) or to pay half the price and get an all-wood stick like the Grays 400i Ultrabow Junior (which has a LOW power rating and HIGH feel rating) .

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with last year's Nano 10, and if so, since, as far as I can tell, Grays have stopped making the Nano series, if one of their 2016/17 sticks has a similar feel and hitting power to the Nano 10?

Thanks in advance

So, I'm looking for a new stick, and wanted to get some suggestions. Here is the obligatory template filled out:

Position played: Forward, fluid along the front line
Budget: Unlimited

Style of Play:
My game revolves around using pace to get behind the defender and so use a lot of close stick skills and 3D skills. I rarely slap in comparison to pushing and hitting the ball. Due to my position, I rarely throw aerials, but I do dragflick.

Preferences:
Stick Size:...

Aa per the title, noticed that this year's Princess range offers a new mould '10'.
Anyone in the know as to what shape is this? The link on their site only shows last year's bow range.
Given that their Mould 9 low bow is pretty tame as low bows go, I've got myself excited it's an extreme low bow mould...
Who can spill the beans?

Hi everyone, I was on the Osaka website and clicked on their "Lookbook" and was scrolling through and I came across a section about being able to design a complete custom built stick - from weight to bow to balance point to colour - and I found this really exciting as it would be something which would be amazing to have! In the bow options it also mentions a new type of bow, the "X Low Bow Groove" along with other variants of the current shapes, but with the added "groove".
So I was...

Hi guys,

For my club I play center forward. I love hitting the ball hard and when shooting always chip the ball to get it in the back of the net. Last season I played hockey I had a gryphon, towards the end of the season it was getting extremely worn and at the end of the season the head broke off, I had only used that stick for that season and one before. For this season I bought another gryphon and now, grand final week, my stick is stuffed. Paint has chipped off everywhere and the stick...

Hi All,

I am thinking about purchasing a new hockey stick, potential options which im thinking about are

Grays KN12000 Probow Micro
Grays GX11000 Probow
Grays GR11000 Jumbow

Gryphon Tour Deuce II
Gryphon Tour Samurai
Gryphon Tour T-Bone

I have used Grays hockey sticks before (5000 Jumbow) and really liked it... and have used a TK, Nedstar in the last few years I was wondering if i should go back to Grays or give Gryphon a go...

I have heard that they tend to be very stiff and are not...
