Searching for the best hockey stick for women? You’re in the right place. For generations, Grays Hockey have dedicated their resources in supporting world-class female players – quite frankly, it’s become part of our DNA. From past legends like Jane Sixsmith MBE, Helen Richardson-Walsh MBE, and Maartje Paumen, to today’s stars lighting up the international stage, with many collecting medals at the highest level in recent times. One thing they all have in common? They back the latest hockey sticks from the 25/26 Grays Hockey Stick Range.
With elite players competing all year round at the highest level, it’s no surprise that performance, durability, and innovation matter more than ever. Whether you’re pushing for national selection or dominating your local league, choosing the right Grays Hockey Stick is a game-changer.
1. Why Grays Hockey?
One of the key reasons female hockey players at all levels continue to trust Grays hockey sticks is simple, choice.
We understand that every player is different - from hand size to strength, to playing style. That’s why we offer a wide range of hockey sticks, that vary in weight and balance points across all our top models. Whether you prefer a lighter stick for fast skills and quick hands, or a slightly heavier feel for added power and presence on the ball, there’s a Grays Hockey stick built to suit your game.
Our finely tuned balance points also help players feel more connected to the stick - whether you're executing tight 3D skills, launching aerials, or controlling the ball under pressure.
2. Which Grays Hockey Stick Is Right For You?
DB10: Dynabow
Favoured by our international athletes like Fiona Crackles, Fay van Der Elst, and Delphine Marien, the DB10 delivers a perfect blend of balance and precision. Its thinner handle and dynamic bow make it ideal for fast-paced game movements that require consistency at every asking. Ideal for players that emphasise the importance of control in their playing style.

JB10: Jumbow
Powerful, bold, and trusted by penalty corner threats like Grace Balsdon and Lisa Post. The Jumbow shape enhances 3D skills and aerial control, giving you that extra edge when it counts - especially in the circle.
Simply put, the JB10 delivers power. The Jumbow profile is strategically engineered to maximise power when hitting. Trusted by drag flicking legends like Grace Balsdon and Lisa Post, this stick allows flickers to combine power and accuracy to the best of their ability. The Jumbow’s low-bow shape enhances 3D skills and aerial control making it a popular choice for players who value distribution as a key element in their skillset.

PB 10: Probow
An ultra-low bow crafted for skill and speed. The PB10 is backed by creative attackers like England and GB’s Lily Walker and Alex Malzer, who demand lightning-fast stick skills and game-winning precision in the final third. The Probow shape is also ideal for players that dominate games through distribution, such as Ireland’s Lena Neil - famous for her no-look sliders and long aerials out of the back.

AC1000 Dynabow-S and AC900 Probow-S
Fronting up our cutting-edge advanced AeroCore (AC) range, the AC 1000 and 900 are trusted by top players like GB’s Tess Howard and Spain captain Xantal Gine respectively. Combining the latest materials with a highly responsive feel, these sticks deliver maximum control under pressure, and power transfer like no other stick on the market. With uniquely modified bows to our traditional Dynabow and Probow shapes, these shapes enhance all the attributes our DB10 and PB10 give our players, both including the Lower Backhand Zone (LBZ), to allow players to master the reverse stick hitting with its thicker profile.
Part of our cutting-edge Advanced Composite (AC) range, the AC range is trusted by elite players like Tess Howard and Xantal Gine. It combines the latest materials with a highly responsive feel, giving you maximum control under pressure, and maximum power.

JB8: Jumbow
Similar to the JB10, our JB8 model is designed for power, whilst offering players a softer touch for a better feel when controlling and carrying the ball. Trusted by international athletes such as Ireland’s Hannah McLoughlin, GB’s Liv Hamilton, and GB’s rising star Becky Manton, it offers consistency across all areas.
