Grays Low Bow Hockey Stick Guide
Grays low bow hockey sticks are designed for players who want more support with drag flicking, aerials, overheads, lifts and attacking skills. The lower bow position helps players get under the ball more easily, making this type of stick especially useful for technical and attacking hockey.
What type of player should choose a Grays low bow stick?
A Grays low bow stick is best suited to players who regularly lift the ball, throw aerials, drag flick, play overheads or use 3D skills. It is a strong option for penalty corner specialists, defenders who like long overheads, midfielders who switch play through the air and forwards who want more help lifting the ball around the D.
Low bow sticks are more specialist than traditional mid bow sticks, so they usually suit players who are confident with their technique. If your game is based around control, simple passing and traditional hitting, a mid bow stick may feel easier. If you want extra help with flicks and lifted skills, a low bow Grays stick is a strong choice.
Are Grays low bow sticks good for drag flicking?
Yes, Grays low bow sticks are a strong choice for drag flicking. The lower bow shape helps players get under the ball and generate sling, which can make drag flicks and lifted shots easier to execute.
Models from the Grays Jumbow / JB family are especially popular with players who want drag-flicking support, aerial power and lifted distribution. Higher-performance models such as JB10 and JB 9 are best suited to advanced players, while JB 8 and JB 7 offer a more manageable feel.
Are Grays low bow sticks good for aerials and overheads?
Yes, Grays low bow hockey sticks are well suited to aerials and overheads. The 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.
If you regularly throw overheads to relieve pressure, switch play or create attacking chances, a Grays low bow stick can be a useful option. Players who mainly keep the ball on the ground may prefer a more traditional bow profile.

Are Grays low bow sticks good for beginners?
Grays low bow sticks can suit confident developing players, but they are not usually the easiest option for complete beginners. Because a low bow naturally helps with lifted skills, it can feel more specialist when learning basic passing, receiving and hitting.
Beginners who want simple all-round control may prefer a more forgiving mid bow or development stick. Players who are improving quickly and want to work on flicks, aerials and attacking skills may enjoy moving into a Grays low bow stick.
Are Grays low bow sticks good for advanced players?
Yes, Grays low bow sticks are a strong choice for advanced players who use flicks, aerials, overheads and technical attacking skills. Higher-end models such as JB10 and JB 9 are designed for players who can get the most from a stiffer, more responsive stick.

What is the difference between Grays low bow, mid bow and ultra low bow sticks?
The main difference is where the bow sits on the stick and what skills it supports. A low bow is designed to help with lifting the ball, flicking and aerials, while a mid bow gives a more traditional and controlled feel for passing, receiving and hitting.
- Low bow: best for drag flicking, aerials, overheads, lifts and attacking skills.
- Mid bow: best for all-round control, passing, receiving and hitting.
- Ultra low bow: best for advanced 3D skills, flicking and highly technical attacking play.
