Product Information
Full details
The Grays UB5 Hockey Stick is engineered for intermediate players seeking a balance of power and control to refine their game. Featuring the signature Ultrabow blade profile, this stick is specifically designed to support the development of core skills and ensure consistent, reliable ball striking. While its versatile design is excellent for all-round play, players transitioning from absolute beginner models may find the slight adjustment in bow profile requires a brief period of practice to master high-intensity maneuvers.

FAQs
Is the Grays UB5 suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is excellent for players moving past the absolute beginner stage, as the Ultrabow profile is specifically designed to help develop consistent striking mechanics.
What does the 'Micro' head mean?
The micro head is a smaller, more compact head shape that facilitates quick stick handling and easier 3D skills compared to larger, traditional head shapes.
Can I use this stick on indoor courts?
This stick is designed for outdoor field hockey pitches. Using it on indoor court surfaces may damage the surface or the stick itself due to the different friction levels.
How do I choose the right length?
The 35-inch size is generally suitable for intermediate youth players or adults of average height; ensure the stick reaches your hip bone when standing upright for optimal reach.
How often should I replace the stick?
Depending on the frequency of play, a composite stick usually lasts 1-2 seasons before structural performance begins to decline.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration when striking the ball
Check if the grip is worn thin; replace the overgrip to dampen vibration and improve handling.
Head shows signs of surface wear
Ensure you are using the stick only on approved surfaces; you can use hockey-specific protective tape on the bottom of the head to minimize turf abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Grays UB5 remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Surface Usage: Use exclusively on approved field hockey pitches (water-based or sand-dressed turf). Avoid using on concrete or abrasive surfaces, which can rapidly wear down the composite material.
- Grip Maintenance: Replace the grip regularly if you feel it becoming slippery or losing its tackiness. A fresh grip is essential for maintaining control during matches.
- Post-Match Cleaning: Wipe down the stick with a damp cloth after each game to remove turf infill and debris. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the composite resin.
- Impact Check: Periodically inspect the head for deep cracks or splintering. While composite sticks are resilient, excessive high-velocity strikes against other sticks can eventually cause structural fatigue.
