Grays GT Hockey Stick Guide
The Grays GT hockey stick range is designed for players who want control, confidence and dependable all-round performance. As the replacement for the older Grays Ultrabow range, GT gives players a modern Grays stick family with senior and junior options for developing, club and regular hockey players.
What type of player is the Grays GT for?
The Grays GT range is best suited to players who want a controlled, reliable hockey stick for core skills such as passing, receiving, carrying, tackling and hitting. It is a strong choice for players who want a more traditional feel on the ball rather than a specialist low-bow or ultra-low-bow stick.
GT sticks can suit a wide range of players, including juniors learning the game, school and club players, and senior players who want a dependable Grays stick for regular training and matches. If your game is built around control, consistency and confidence, the Grays GT range is a strong option.
Does Grays GT replace Ultrabow?
Yes, the Grays GT range replaces the older Grays Ultrabow family. Players who previously liked Ultrabow sticks should look at the GT range as the natural replacement, especially if they want a controlled Grays stick for all-round hockey.
If you are moving from an older Ultrabow stick, the Grays GT range is the best place to start. Choose the model that matches your level and preferred feel, whether that is a higher-performance GT 8 or a more forgiving GT 5, GT 4 or GT 3.
Is the Grays GT a mid bow stick?
The Grays GT range is best understood as a controlled, all-round stick profile rather than a specialist low-bow range. It is designed for players who want reliable handling, passing and hitting rather than a bow shape focused mainly on drag flicking, aerials or advanced lifted skills.
If you want a more specialist low-bow Grays stick, compare the Grays Jumbow / JB range or Grays Probow / PB range. If you want a balanced Grays stick for developing and all-round play, GT is a better starting point.
Which Grays GT model is best?
The best Grays GT model depends on your age, playing level, budget and how much performance you want from the stick. Higher-numbered GT models are generally more performance-focused, while lower-numbered models are more forgiving and accessible.
- Grays GT 8: best for senior players who want the highest-performance GT model currently available in the range.
- Grays GT 5: best for regular players who want a stronger performance feel while still keeping good control and value.
- Grays GT 4: best for developing players who want a forgiving stick with dependable Grays performance.
- Grays GT 3: best for newer players, juniors or players who want an accessible GT stick with easy control.
What is the difference between Grays GT 8, GT 5, GT 4 and GT 3?
The main difference between Grays GT 8, GT 5, GT 4 and GT 3 is the performance level, stiffness and feel. Higher-numbered models are designed to offer more response and power, while lower-numbered models are easier to use and more forgiving.
- GT 8: the strongest performance option in the current GT collection, suited to senior players who want more power and response.
- GT 5: a good middle option for players who want dependable performance with a more manageable feel.
- GT 4: a forgiving option for developing players who want confidence, touch and control.
- GT 3: the most accessible option, ideal for juniors, newer players or players who want an easy-to-use Grays stick.
If you are a senior player looking for the strongest GT option, start with the GT 8. If you want a more forgiving or value-focused stick, compare the GT 5, GT 4 and GT 3.
Is the Grays GT good for beginners?
Yes, the Grays GT range is a strong option for beginners and developing players. Because it is focused on control and all-round play, it is easier to use than many specialist low-bow sticks that are designed mainly for flicking, aerials or advanced 3D skills.
Newer players should usually choose a GT model that feels comfortable, manageable and forgiving. The GT 3 and GT 4 are especially useful for players who are learning core skills such as passing, receiving, dribbling and hitting.
Is the Grays GT good for junior players?
Yes, the Grays GT range includes junior options, making it a good choice for younger players who want a controlled Grays stick for school or club hockey. Junior GT sticks are designed to be easier to manage than senior sticks, helping young players build confidence and technique.
Junior players should choose a stick size that suits their height and strength. A stick that is too long, too stiff or too heavy can make it harder to control the ball, so choosing the right junior GT model is important.
Is the Grays GT good for advanced players?
The Grays GT can suit advanced players who want a controlled, dependable stick rather than a specialist attacking profile. Players who value passing, receiving, hitting and simple all-round performance may enjoy the GT range.
However, advanced players who focus heavily on drag flicking, aerials or 3D skills may prefer a more specialist Grays range such as Jumbow / JB or Probow / PB. GT is strongest when used as a controlled all-round stick.
What is the difference between Grays GT, DB, JB and PB?
The main difference between Grays GT, DB, JB and PB is the bow shape and style of play each range supports.
- GT: best for controlled, accessible all-round play and as the replacement for Ultrabow.
- Dynabow / DB: best for balanced mid-bow control, passing, receiving and hitting.
- Jumbow / JB: best for drag flicking, aerials, overheads and powerful lifted distribution.
- Probow / PB: best for low-bow skills, quick hands, close control and attacking movement.
Choose GT if you want an accessible, controlled Grays stick. Choose DB if you want a more performance-focused all-round profile, JB if you want flicking and aerial power, or PB if you want fast low-bow skills.
