Gryphon Tour DII G26 Hockey Stick
The Gryphon Tour DII hockey stick is an elite field hockey stick built for advanced players who rely on drag flicking, aerial skills and fast attacking play. It’s designed for use on artificial hockey turfs and suits high level club and representative hockey across New Zealand. This is a specialist stick with an extra low bow and maximum carbon construction.
On the turf, the extra low bow makes it easier to get under the ball for flicks and lifted passes. You’ll notice quicker ball release when executing drag flicks and sharper control during 3D skills. The high stiffness gives you strong hitting power, but it does require clean technique to manage consistently.
Performance and Feel
With a carbon quotient of 100, this is one of the stiffest hockey sticks available. It delivers maximum power through hits and flicks, with a very direct, responsive feel on contact. In dry conditions, the strike is crisp and immediate, while in wet turf conditions the structure holds firm and doesn’t soften under pressure.
The forged carbon finish strengthens key impact areas, helping the stick handle repeated use through matches and training. The light feel lay-up keeps the overall weight around 515g, so it still moves quickly through the hands despite the high stiffness.

Player Suitability
This Gryphon hockey stick is best suited to experienced players who focus on attacking skills, especially drag flick specialists and midfielders who use lifted passes. It’s also a strong option for players who want maximum output when striking the ball.
If you’re still developing core skills, this level of stiffness can feel unforgiving. A mid carbon stick will offer more control while you build consistency.
Available in store and online NZ wide, this is a top tier option for serious hockey players looking for a purpose built drag flick stick.
