Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra GK20 Goalkeeper Hockey Stick is designed for aspiring and competitive goalkeepers who need a reliable, balanced tool for defensive play. Featuring a specialized G-Hook shape, this stick excels at maximizing the stopping area for cleaner saves and consistent blocking. While its 20% carbon and 80% fibreglass composition offers a forgiving and durable feel, advanced players requiring maximum stiffness for high-velocity deflection might find it slightly less rigid than professional-grade all-carbon alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the G-Hook shape?

The G-Hook shape increases the total surface area of the stick head, which helps you block shots that might have slipped past a narrower stick profile.

Is this stick suitable for indoor hockey?

While it can be used, the GK20 is primarily designed for outdoor field hockey pitches. Check your league regulations regarding composite sticks for indoor play.

How do I replace the grip?

Simply unwrap the old Pro Cushion grip, clean the handle of any adhesive residue, and apply a new standard hockey grip tape from the base of the handle moving upward.

What does the 20% carbon rating mean for me?

It provides a balance of weight and power. It is stiffer than a wooden or 100% fibreglass stick, but more forgiving than a full carbon stick.

Can I use this stick on artificial grass and water-based pitches?

Yes, the construction is durable enough for both common surface types found in competitive hockey.

Troubleshooting

Excessive vibration during saves

Ensure your grip is not worn out. A fresh overgrip can help absorb residual vibrations.

Head shape feels sluggish

Check that the stick weight is correct for your age/height and ensure you are utilizing the G-Hook area correctly rather than the shaft for blocking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increased stopping surface area due to G-Hook design
  • Forgiving touch provided by the high fibreglass content
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent training and matches
  • Enhanced vibration dampening for comfortable saves
  • Secure handling with the included Pro Cushion grip

Cons

  • Less rigid than 100% carbon sticks
  • May feel less responsive for elite-level power deflection
  • Weight profile is heavier than high-end carbon models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kookaburra GK20 remains in optimal condition, inspect the head for deep gouges after every session. As this stick is composed of composite materials, it should not be used as a hammer for goalpost adjustments or other non-hockey activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. After wet weather use, wipe the stick down with a dry cloth to prevent moisture buildup in the grip.
  2. Store the stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the resins.
  3. Regularly check the Pro Cushion grip for wear; replace it if it loses its tackiness to maintain a secure hold during matches.
  4. Avoid high-impact clashes with other sticks, as composite materials are susceptible to structural failure if struck forcefully at sharp angles.
