Built by Gryphon, the Australia hockey brand, the Gryphon Lazer Beginner Field Hockey Stick is aimed at first-season players and anyone building basic skills. Gryphon is known for high-carbon composite sticks and tour, Taboo and Chrome stick families, with roots going back to 1983.
The stick is built around a composite build that balances stiffness and touch.
The low bow profile places the curve close to the head, which makes lifting, aerials and drag flicks easier.
This listing is the 35 inch length. Use the chart below: the top of the stick should reach your hip bone.
