Grays Probow+ / PB+ Hockey Stick Guide
The Grays Probow+, also known through the Grays PB+ hockey stick range, is built for players who want a low-bow stick for fast hands, 3D skills, close control and attacking movement. It is one of the most skill-focused Grays stick profiles, making it a strong choice for players who like to play quickly and creatively.
What type of player is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ for?
The Grays Probow+ / PB+ range is best suited to skilful players who want a stick that supports close control, quick hands, lifts and attacking skills. It is a strong option for forwards, attacking midfielders and players who like to carry the ball at speed.
This range is more dynamic than a traditional mid-bow stick, but usually feels more agile and close-control focused than a drag-flicking profile such as Jumbow+ / JB+. If you want a stick for fast attacking play, quick eliminations and creative movement on the ball, Probow+ / PB+ is a strong Grays option.
Is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ a low bow?
Yes, the Grays Probow+ / PB+ is a low-bow hockey stick. The lower bow position helps players get under the ball for controlled lifts, 3D skills and quick attacking movements.
A low bow is useful for players who want more help with technical skills than a traditional mid-bow stick. Probow+ / PB+ is especially suited to players who want a balance of control, agility and skill execution, rather than a stick focused mainly on straight-line hitting or simple passing.
Which Grays PB+ model is best?
The best Grays PB+ model depends on your playing level, budget and how stiff you want the stick to feel. Higher-numbered PB+ models are usually more performance-focused, while lower-numbered models are more forgiving and accessible.
- Grays PB 11+: best for advanced and elite players who want the highest-performance Probow+ / PB+ model in the range.
- Grays PB 9+: best for high-level players who want premium low-bow performance with slightly more forgiveness than the top model.
- Grays PB 7+: best for regular club players, developing players or juniors who want Probow+ skill support with a more manageable feel.
What is the difference between Grays PB 11+, PB 9+ and PB 7+?
The main difference between Grays PB 11+, PB 9+ and PB 7+ is the performance level, stiffness and feel of each stick. Higher-numbered models are designed for advanced players who want greater response, power and stiffness, while lower-numbered models offer more forgiveness and easier control.
- PB 11+: the premium model for players who want maximum performance from the Probow+ / PB+ shape.
- PB 9+: a high-performance option for players who still want strong power and response but with a slightly more manageable feel.
- PB 7+: a more accessible option for players who want low-bow skill support with more forgiveness and easier control.
If you are an advanced player who wants the stiffest, most powerful PB+ stick, start with the PB 11+ or PB 9+. If you want more forgiveness, value or a junior-friendly option, the PB 7+ may be the better fit.
Is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ good for 3D skills?
Yes, the Grays Probow+ / PB+ range is a strong choice for 3D skills and fast attacking play. The low-bow shape helps players lift the ball more easily, making it useful for controlled lifts, quick eliminations and close control under pressure.
Players who like to beat defenders, carry the ball at speed or use fast hands around the D will usually find the Probow+ / PB+ shape more helpful than a traditional mid-bow stick.
Is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ good for drag flicking?
The Grays Probow+ / PB+ can support drag flicking because of its low-bow profile, but it is generally better known for close control, skills and attacking movement. Players who want a more specialist drag-flicking and aerial profile may prefer the Grays Jumbow+ / JB+ range.
Choose Probow+ / PB+ if you want a low-bow stick that feels agile and skill-focused. Choose Jumbow+ / JB+ if your main priority is drag flicking, overheads and lifted distribution.
Is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ good for beginners?
The Grays Probow+ / PB+ can suit confident developing players, but complete beginners may find a more traditional bow easier to control. Because the Probow+ / PB+ is a low-bow stick, it naturally supports lifted skills and attacking play, but it can feel more specialist when learning basic passing, receiving and hitting.
Beginners who choose the Probow+ / PB+ range should usually start with a more forgiving model such as a PB 7+ rather than the stiffest top-end models. Players who want the easiest possible control may prefer a straighter or more traditional Grays stick shape.
Is the Grays Probow+ / PB+ good for junior players?
Yes, the Grays Probow+ / PB+ range can suit junior players if the size, weight and model are right. Junior PB+ models are designed to give younger players a more manageable feel while still supporting low-bow skills and attacking confidence.
Junior players should prioritise control, confidence and correct stick size. A stick that is too long, too stiff or too heavy can make skills harder to learn, so a junior PB 7+ can be a good option for developing players who want a low-bow Grays stick.
What is the difference between Probow+ / PB+, Jumbow+ / JB+, Dynabow / DB and GT?
The main difference between Grays Probow+ / PB+, Jumbow+ / JB+, Dynabow / DB and GT is the bow shape and playing style each range supports.
- 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.
- 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 Probow+ / PB+ if your game is built around fast hands, attacking skills and close control. Choose Jumbow+ / JB+ if you want more help with flicking and aerials, Dynabow / DB if you want balanced all-round performance, or GT if you want a controlled and accessible Grays stick.
