Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ Hockey Stick Guide
The Grays Jumbow+, also known through the Grays JB+ hockey stick range, is built for players who want low-bow power, drag-flicking performance and strong aerial ability. It is one of the most specialist Grays stick profiles, making it a strong choice for players who want to generate lift, sling and attacking threat from technical skills.
What type of player is the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ for?
The Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ range is best suited to players who want a stick that helps with drag flicking, aerials, overheads and powerful lifted distribution. It is ideal for penalty corner specialists, defenders who like to throw overheads, midfielders who want to open the pitch with aerial passes, and forwards who use lifted skills around the circle.
This is a more specialist stick shape than a traditional all-round profile. The Jumbow+ bow is designed for players who are confident using a low-bow stick and want more assistance with ball lift, flicking and aerial control.
Is the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ a low bow?
Yes, the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ is a low-bow hockey stick. The lower bow position helps players get under the ball more easily, making it useful for drag flicks, aerial passes, overheads, lifted skills and attacking play.
A low bow can be a big advantage for players who use the ball in the air, but it can feel more specialist than a mid-bow stick. If you mainly want simple passing, receiving and hitting, a more balanced stick such as Grays Dynabow / DB or Grays GT may feel easier. If your game includes flicking, aerials and powerful lifted distribution, Jumbow+ / JB+ is a strong option.
Which Grays JB+ model is best?
The best Grays JB+ model will depend on your playing level, budget and how stiff you want the stick to feel. Higher-numbered JB+ models are usually more performance-focused, while lower-numbered models are more forgiving and accessible.
- Top-end JB+ models: best for advanced and elite players who want maximum stiffness, power and response from the Jumbow+ shape.
- Mid-range JB+ models: best for strong club players who want low-bow power with a more balanced feel.
- Lower-numbered JB+ models: best for developing players who want Jumbow+ performance with more forgiveness and easier control.
- Junior JB+ models: best for younger players who want a junior-friendly stick with low-bow support, if available.
Is the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ good for drag flicking?
Yes, the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ range is designed as one of the strongest Grays options for drag flicking. Its low-bow profile helps players get under the ball and generate sling, making it useful for penalty corner routines and attacking flicks.
The same bow shape also helps with aerials, overheads and lifted passes in open play. Players who regularly use the ball in the air will usually get the most value from this range.
Is the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ good for aerials and overheads?
Yes, the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ range is well suited to aerials and overheads. The low-bow shape helps players lift the ball more easily, making it useful for defenders, midfielders and attacking players who want to move the ball through the air.
Players who use overheads to relieve pressure, switch play or create attacking opportunities may find the Jumbow+ / JB+ shape especially useful.
Is the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ good for beginners?
The Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ is usually better suited to confident developing players and advanced players than complete beginners. Because the Jumbow+ is a low-bow stick, it naturally supports lifted skills and flicking, but it can feel more specialist when learning basic passing, receiving and hitting.
Beginners who choose the Jumbow+ / JB+ range should usually start with a more forgiving model rather than the stiffest top-end option. Players who want easier all-round control may prefer Grays GT or Dynabow / DB.
What is the difference between Jumbow+ / JB+, Probow / PB, Dynabow / DB and GT?
The main difference between Grays Jumbow+ / JB+, Probow / PB, Dynabow / DB and GT is the bow shape and playing style each range supports.
- 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.
- Dynabow / DB: best for balanced control, passing, receiving and all-round play.
- GT: best for accessible, controlled all-round play and players moving from the older Ultrabow range.
Choose Jumbow+ / JB+ if your game is built around flicking, aerials and lifted power. Choose Probow / PB if you want more close-control skill support, Dynabow / DB if you want balanced all-round performance, or GT if you want a controlled and accessible Grays stick.
