Field Hockey Grips & Grip Tape 2026

How to Choose a Field Hockey Grip

Your grip is the only part of the stick you touch, so it has a big effect on control and comfort. Choose by:

1. Feel. Chamois feels soft and tacky. Textured grips like Grays Twintex give a firm, ribbed hold.
2. Weather. Towelling and textured grips perform best in rain and with sweaty hands.
3. Thickness. Add a second grip, or choose a cushion grip, for a thicker handle and less vibration.
4. Durability. Textured synthetic grips last longest. Chamois needs replacing more often.

Each grip material changes how the stick feels in your hands.

How to Re-Grip a Field Hockey Stick

1. Remove the old grip and any loose glue from the handle.
2. Start at the top of the handle and wrap downward at a slight angle.
3. Overlap each turn by about a third for an even surface.
4. Finish just above the head and secure the end with stick tape.

Replace your grip whenever it becomes slippery, torn or flat. For regular players, that is usually every few months.
