Grays KN 5000 Jumbow (2018)

The 2018/19 Grays KN 5000 Jumbow features braided carbon technology.

Sticks in the KN range feature Kinetic Core Technology at the epicentre of each stick. This allows a complete redistribution of weight, creating a light and nimble pickup.

This technology is designed primarily for progressive and fast-paced 3D styles of play. Tri-Tec weave and Graphene reinforcement ensures there is maximum accuracy when shooting.

The KN Probow Extreme range differs from the Probow through:

• Thicker reverse stick area for more consistent reverse stick shots and passes
• Groove down the rear of the stick, offering higher torsional stability. This is also very tactile when placing your hand at the bottom of the stick.
• Playing face is sculpted to so that the ball is more easily carried forward for 3D Hockey Skills

A revolution in stick design - sticks in the KN range offer the maximum combination of balance, feel and power.

Choosing a new hockey stick is an incredibly personal process and changes from individual to individual.
