Gryphon Blue Steel G25 Hockey Stick - Classic Curve
The Gryphon Blue Steel G25 Hockey Stick is a high performance field hockey stick built for serious club and representative players in New Zealand. It’s designed for athletes who want strong hitting power without losing touch and control. Best suited to outdoor turf and competitive match play, this is a stick made for big moments.
If you’re stepping up in level or already playing high grade hockey, the Blue Steel G25 gives you the balance of strength and feel needed for modern attacking and defensive play.
Built for Power and Control on Turf
The Blue Steel G25 combines carbon power with controlled touch, making it well suited to drag flicks, hard passes and confident tackling. The Classic Curve profile offers a familiar shape that supports all-round skills without locking you into a specialist role.
The extended head shape increases the sweet spot, which helps with clean trapping and first touch under pressure. In match situations, that extra forgiveness can be the difference between keeping possession and turning the ball over.
At a targeted weight of 525g and a 400mm balance point, this stick feels solid through contact but still manoeuvrable enough for quick transitions. It suits players who like a slightly more substantial stick rather than an ultra lightweight option.
Forged Carbon Finish
The forged carbon finish strengthens the stick’s structure and improves durability through the shaft and head. On turf, that translates to a crisp strike and reliable feel when hitting or sweeping.
It also adds surface resilience, helping the stick handle regular training sessions and competitive match load across a New Zealand hockey season.
