Product Information
Full details
The Kookaburra Pro Cushion Hockey Grip is designed for field hockey players of all skill levels who need improved stick control and reduced hand vibration. Its primary benefit is a superior, cushioned feel that minimizes fatigue during long matches, though players who prefer a very thin, tactile grip may find the added cushioning alters their direct feedback from the stick.

FAQs
Is this grip compatible with composite hockey sticks?
Yes, the Kookaburra Pro Cushion Grip is designed to fit all standard hockey sticks, including both wooden and composite models.
How often should I replace my hockey grip?
Replacement frequency depends on usage; however, it is recommended to replace it when you notice significant wear, loss of cushioning, or if the grip becomes slippery even when clean.
Does this grip come with installation instructions?
The grip is designed for simple application. It follows standard over-grip installation procedures: peel the adhesive backing and wrap it in an overlapping spiral from top to bottom.
Can this grip be used in rainy weather?
The material is designed to provide better handling than a bare stick, but like all grips, performance may vary in extreme saturation. Wiping it dry after play helps maintain its longevity.
Is the grip adhesive or does it use a different fixing method?
It features a sticky backing for easy application and comes with finishing tape to secure the bottom edge.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose or starts to unwind.
Ensure the overlapping spiral is consistent and that the finishing tape is applied firmly at the base.
Grip loses its 'tack' or becomes slippery.
Wipe the surface with a clean, barely damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt accumulation; do not use harsh chemicals.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the grip, first remove your old, worn-out grip and clean the wooden or composite handle surface of any adhesive residue. Begin at the top of the handle, peeling back the adhesive backing as you wind the grip downward in an overlapping spiral. Ensure each layer overlaps by approximately 3-5mm for an even, secure finish. Secure the end with the included finishing tape.
To prolong the life of your grip, avoid leaving your hockey stick in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the polyurethane adhesive and surface. Wipe the grip down with a slightly damp cloth after muddy games to maintain its tacky finish.
