Mid bow and control bow sticks balance close control with enough curve to lift the ball. Start with the chart below to find the right size or type, then use the filters at the top of the page to narrow the list by brand, player level and age group. Every product links to its live Amazon listing, where you can check today's price, sizes and delivery.
The bow is the curve along the stick. Where the curve peaks changes how easy it is to lift the ball.
| Bow type | Peak position | Strengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard / regular bow | Middle of the stick | Control, flat passing, receiving | Beginners, defenders |
| Mid bow / control bow | Slightly toward the head | All-round control with easy lifts | Midfielders, developing players |
| Low bow / late bow | Close to the head | Lifting, aerials, drag flicks | Attackers, skilled players |
| Extreme low bow (e.g. Ultrabow, Jumbow) | Very close to the head | 3D skills, drag-flick specialists | Advanced and elite attackers |
FIH rules limit bow depth to 25 mm. Every stick sold by major brands is within this limit.
A mid bow sits between a standard and a low bow. It gives good control for dribbling and receiving, with enough curve for lifted passes and aerials. That makes it a good all-round choice for midfielders and developing players.
Brands use different names for similar shapes, for example Midbow, Control Bow, Dynabow and Probow. Check the bow position on each listing.

Buying questions first, then questions about the products on this page.
Yes. A mid bow is forgiving enough for beginners, and still lets them learn lifts and aerials.
A mid bow puts the curve near the middle of the stick for control. A low bow puts it closer to the head for lifting and drag flicks.
Midfielders and defenders especially, but a mid bow works for every position.
It can work, but specialists usually prefer a low or extreme low bow.
Anything from 20% to 90%, depending on your level.
