STICK TECHNOLOGY
It’s common for players to think they should just choose the top model automatically. While the Tour is technically the most advanced and in that sense ‘best’ stick in our range, it doesn’t automatically follow that it is the right or est stick for you. These pages will explain our range and some of the considerations that lead you to choose your perfect GRYPHON stick.
One thing we won’t talk about is material percentages. Carbon, for example, comes in various grades and qualities and unless you know you are comparing carbon of the same level any claim of how much is included is worthless since more of lower quality carbon will always be outperformed by less of better.
LAY-UP
The Lay-up is the Gryphon performance ‘X’ factor. We do this differently, it is an art, it is a sixth sense based on years of experience and the knowledge of how to best achieve the desired result of power and a great crisp feel to allow that instant response from the players hands for exceptional ball control. This cannot be achieved using 100% of anything.
Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process is the most important part to creating quality hockey sticks as the performances are influenced by a few production factors. The Lay-up is the Gryphon performance ‘X’ factor. We do this differently, it is an art, it is a sixth sense based on years of experience and the knowledge of how to best achieve the desired result of power and a great crisp feel to allow that instant response from the players hands for exceptional ball control. This cannot be achieved using 100% of anything.
Materials
Carbon, Fibreglass, Aramid, Resin are some of the most common materials used for the production of modern field hockey sticks. Whilst we are all familiar with the widely used reference of "Carbon Percentage", Gryphon do not use a carbon percentage but a carbon quotient. The carbon quotient expresses an indicative stiffness measure of GRYPHON sticks as a relative measure to the widely used carbon percentages as there is so many other parameters to consider in manufacturing hockey sticks.
Shapes
There are 6 shapes to choose from at the top of the Gryphon range, though not every shape is available in every model. Think of a sliding scale where at one end you have the basic skills of the game (trapping, pushing etc) and at the other the more dynamic, such as 3D skills, overheads and dragflicking.
