Grays Impulse Hockey Stick Guide
The Grays Impulse hockey stick range is designed for players who want an easy-to-use Grays stick for control, confidence and skill development. It is a practical option for beginners, junior players, school hockey, casual players and developing club players who need a stick that feels manageable and forgiving.
What type of player is the Grays Impulse for?
The Grays Impulse range is best suited to players who want a simple, reliable hockey stick for learning and improving core skills. It is ideal for juniors, beginners, school players and developing players who need confidence when passing, receiving, dribbling and hitting.
Impulse sticks are designed to be more accessible than specialist performance ranges. If you are not yet ready for a high-carbon stick or a more technical low-bow profile, Grays Impulse is a strong place to start.
Is the Grays Impulse good for beginners?
Yes, the Grays Impulse is a good option for beginners because it focuses on control, comfort and forgiveness. New players usually benefit from a stick that is easy to handle rather than one that is too stiff, too powerful or too specialist.
A forgiving stick can make it easier to learn the basics of hockey, including first touch, passing, receiving, dribbling and shooting. This makes the Impulse range a sensible choice for players building confidence on the ball.
Is the Grays Impulse good for junior players?
Yes, the Grays Impulse range includes junior options, making it a strong choice for younger players who are learning hockey at school or club level. Junior Impulse sticks are designed to be easier to manage than senior sticks, helping players develop technique without the stick feeling too long, stiff or heavy.
Junior players should choose the correct stick size for their height and strength. A correctly sized stick will help them control the ball more easily and develop better habits when passing, receiving and carrying.
Which Grays Impulse model should I choose?
The best Grays Impulse model depends mainly on the player’s age, height, strength and whether they need a senior or junior stick. The current Impulse GT range includes senior and junior options, with different colourways available.
- Senior Impulse GT: best for older players, adult beginners or regular players who want an accessible Grays stick for training and match play.
- Junior Impulse GT: best for younger players who need a lighter, more manageable stick for school or club hockey.
- Colour choice: choose the colour you prefer, as the main decision should be the correct size and senior/junior model rather than colour alone.
What is the difference between Grays Impulse and Grays GT?
The main difference between Grays Impulse and Grays GT is the range position and player type. Impulse is best for players who want an accessible, easy-to-use stick for learning and developing, while GT is a broader all-round Grays range that replaces the older Ultrabow family.
- Impulse: best for beginners, juniors, school players and developing players who want control and confidence.
- GT: best for players who want a controlled Grays stick with more range depth across different performance levels.
What is the difference between Impulse, Dynabow / DB, Probow / PB and Jumbow / JB?
The main difference between Grays stick ranges is the level of performance and the type of hockey each range supports.
- Impulse: best for accessible control, beginners, juniors and developing players.
- Dynabow / DB: best for balanced control, passing, receiving and all-round performance.
- Probow+ / PB+: best for low-bow skills, quick hands, close control and attacking movement.
- Jumbow+ / JB+: best for drag flicking, aerials, overheads and powerful lifted distribution.
Choose Impulse if you want the easiest and most accessible Grays stick option. Choose DB if you want more all-round performance, PB+ if you want low-bow skills, or JB+ if your game is built around flicking and aerials.
Is the Grays Impulse suitable for school hockey?
Yes, Grays Impulse sticks are well suited to school hockey because they are designed around control, value and ease of use. They are a practical choice for players who need a reliable stick for lessons, training sessions, school fixtures and early club hockey.
For school players, the most important thing is choosing the correct stick length. A stick that is too long or too stiff can make learning harder, while the right size will help the player develop better technique.
Can adults use Grays Impulse hockey sticks?
Yes, adult players can use senior Grays Impulse sticks, especially if they are beginners, returning players or casual players who want a simple and forgiving stick. The senior Impulse GT models are a practical option for players who want a reliable stick without moving into a more specialist performance range.
More experienced players who want greater stiffness, power or a specific bow profile may prefer Grays GT, Dynabow / DB, Probow+ / PB+ or Jumbow+ / JB+.
