Gryphon Chrome Diablo G26 Pro-25 Hockey Stick
The Gryphon Chrome Diablo Pro-25 hockey stick is a high performance field hockey stick designed for intermediate to advanced players. It’s built for hockey in New Zealand, where control under pressure and clean ball striking are key. This model suits players who want a strong balance of power and feel without going to full stiffness.
On the turf, the 75 carbon construction gives you solid hitting power while still absorbing enough vibration for cleaner control. The Energy Reduction System helps soften the feel on first touch, which makes a difference when receiving fast passes or controlling the ball in tight areas. You get a more forgiving response compared to higher carbon sticks, especially during quick transitions.
Shape and On Field Performance
The Pro-25 mid low curve supports all round attacking play. With a 25mm bow at 250mm, it helps lift the ball for flicks and aerial passes while still staying reliable for flat hitting and passing. The compact head shape improves close control, making it easier to handle the ball in traffic and execute quick eliminations.
In wet turf conditions, the softer feel helps with control, while in dry conditions you still get a clean strike when hitting. This makes it a dependable option for both training and match play across the season.
