Power
Energy transfer from the stick to the ball, measured by outbound ball velocity and influenced by stick stiffness. The higher the outbound ball velocity, the higher the power rating.

Which stick is right for me?
Whatever your style, whatever your game, there is a Grays Hockey stick for you.
Our new AC sticks are designed for fast-paced, 3D styles of play with excellent pickup. Our GR sticks with a more traditional composition offer great all-round performance. New to the sport? Then our GX sticks are ideal for learning the core skills of the game such as passing and control.
We know it can be tricky to pick a stick. What shape, composition or price point? That's why we've created this handy page to help you make the right choice for this season
AC Range
The most advanced hockey stick we have ever created. In the new Aerocore collection, every element of the stick has been evaluated & optimised to provide the best performing sticks in Grays’ history.
GR Range
Graphene is exceptionally strong and light, and has been precisely combined with the highly successful GX composition to forge the GR technology.
GX Range
Iconic technology combining performance, durability and playability. The precise material makeup has been carefully engineered to provide a stick which will suit players of all styles.
AC TECHNOLOGY
THE GR COLLECTION
Control
Energy absorption of the stick when receiving the ball determines the rebound properties, measured by the COF. The lower the COF, the higher the control rating.
Speed
Fast-paced 3-D skills require optimum hand speed, governed by a combination of dead weight and balance point; the higher the balance point and the lighter the deadweight, the higher the speed rating.
Stick Shapes
Our shapes can be split into two categories, low bow and medium bow. Low bow models are designed for drag-flicking, aerials and 3D skills. Medium bows are tailored more towards the core skills of the game.
Low Bows
Probow-S - designed for fast paced play specifically aiding 3D skills, drag flicking & aerials. New Apex headshape offers greater reverse-trapping stability & lighter pickup for faster hand speed. Improved, LBZ (Low Backhand Zone) is more clearly defined than ever before, with a larger surface area stabilising contact between stick & ball - delivering a cleaner strike, more of the time.
Probow - engineered for 3D skills. Excellent for drag flicking whilst the straight rear profile allows consistent execution of reverse stick passes and shots.
Jumbow - traditional low bow blade profile designed for drag flicking and aerials. Designed for maximum power.
Medium Bows
Dynabow-S - offers exceptional handling & power for all-round performance. New Vertex headshape promotes better ball-carrying position & reinforced rear profile offers improved power when hitting. Improved LBZ (Low Backhand Zone) is more clearly defined than ever before, with a larger surface area stabilising contact between stick & ball delivering a cleaner strike, more of the time.
Dynabow - sweeping curve with slim mid-section and quick hand movements. Ideal for all round gameplay.
Midbow - continuously contoured along the length of the blade. Rear power groove offers improved torsional stability and the enhanced LBZ provides greater consistency when reverse hitting.
Ultrabow - our straightest profile. The gradual bow is designed for learning and executing the core skills of the game.
Jumbow S
Introducing the new Jumbow-S bow. When it comes to bow size, nothing comes close.
The concentration of the bow is positioned towards the playing head, working in conjuction with the player’s hand position, allowing a much
later strike through the swing-arc than previously possible.
What does this mean? Serious head speed through the ball.
Innovations at the playing head also require innovations in the handle.
We’ve incorporated a unique ribbed design which increases grip and feel throughout the handle area, and reduces the harsh vibrations that an
increase in power can sometimes cause.
A flat inner edge on the handle of the Jumbow-S allows the hockey player to instinctively understand the playing head position, allowing 100%
focus on the ball.
Players around the world now try to master the backhand strike using the reverse edge. The Aerocore range is helping players do this by
delivering the cleanest, most powerful strike Grays has achieved to date.
The new Jumbow-S design goes even further, extending the LBZ and coating it with our tough Durazone surface treatment; giving players an
even greater sweet-spot and making strikes faster, harder and more accurate.
