Built by TK, the Germany hockey brand, the TK Black Elephant Elite Indoor Field Hockey Stick is aimed at regular club and high-school players stepping up their game. TK is known for numbered stick series (TK 1, 2, 3) and field hockey balls, with roots going back to 1985.
The stick is built around a composite layup with roughly 50% carbon, plus aramid for vibration damping. That mid-range carbon gives a solid hit while keeping enough feel for receiving and passing.
The extreme low bow profile places the curve close to the head, which makes lifting, aerials and drag flicks easier.
As an indoor stick it is lighter and thinner than an outdoor model, made for push passes and quick stick work on the court.
This listing is the 36.5 inch length. Use the chart below: the top of the stick should reach your hip bone.
The verdict: Regular club and high-school players stepping up their game will get the most from it. Use the comparison chart below to weigh it against close alternatives.
