Gryphon Chrome Atomic G26 CC Hockey Stick
The Gryphon Chrome Atomic G26 CC hockey stick is a reliable field hockey stick for beginner to intermediate players building their core skills. It’s designed for turf hockey in New Zealand, where consistent control and clean ball striking are key. This model suits players who want a forgiving stick that still delivers solid power.
On the turf, the 60 carbon construction gives you enough hitting strength without feeling overly stiff. The Energy Reduction System helps absorb impact, so trapping and passing feel more controlled, especially when you’re under pressure. It’s a good option for players developing confidence in their first touch and general play.
Shape and Game Performance
The Classic Curve mid curve shape is built for all round play. With a 23mm bow at 300mm, it supports straight hitting, push passing and solid defensive skills without over emphasising flicking. The extended head shape increases the sweet spot, making it easier to connect cleanly and control the ball across a wider area.
In wet turf conditions, the softer feel helps reduce handling errors, while in dry conditions you still get a dependable strike. This makes it well suited for both training sessions and weekend matches.
