Grays DB+ Sticks

Grays DB+ Hockey Sticks — The Dynabow Plus Range

The Grays DB+ range takes everything that makes the Dynabow profile so popular and pushes it further. A 24.95mm bow at 250mm placement — slightly more aggressive than the standard DB — combined with a Vertex head shape, enhanced Low Backhand Zone and exposed carbon finish. The result is a stick that gives you the all-round versatility of the Dynabow with more power, more control and a more premium feel.

Graphene-enhanced construction runs through the entire DB+ range, improving stiffness and power transfer at every level. The Vertex head shape supports 3D skills and reverse-stick play, and the enhanced Low Backhand Zone gives extra support when striking and passing on the reverse. The exposed carbon finish is a visual marker of the higher-spec construction underneath.

The DB+ range spans from the DB7+ for intermediate to advanced players through to the DB10+ flagship for advanced to elite players. If you've outgrown the standard DB range and want more from the Dynabow profile, the DB+ is the natural next step. Read on for a full breakdown of the range and advice on choosing the right model.

Choosing the Right Grays DB+ Stick

The DB+ range spans three model tiers, all built around the Dynabow Plus profile (24.95mm bow, 250mm placement, Vertex head) with increasing levels of graphene integration and construction quality:

  • DB7+ — The entry point into the DB+ range. Graphene-enhanced construction with the Dynabow Plus profile, Vertex head shape and enhanced Low Backhand Zone. Suited to intermediate and advanced players who want more from the Dynabow shape. Available in junior and senior.
  • DB9+ — A step up in construction and performance. More advanced graphene integration for improved power transfer and a more responsive feel. For advanced players who want strong all-round performance with the premium DB+ finish. Available in senior.
  • DB10+ — The flagship DB+. The most advanced graphene construction in the DB+ range, with a premium grip and the highest power rating in the standard Dynabow lineup. For advanced to elite players who want the best version of the Dynabow Plus profile. Available in senior.

All models share the same Dynabow Plus profile — 24.95mm bow with 250mm placement and Vertex head shape. For the standard Dynabow range at a more accessible level, see the Grays DB range.

Who Is the Grays DB+ For?

The DB+ is for players who want the versatility of the Dynabow profile with a higher level of construction and performance. If you play at intermediate to elite level, want a stick that works across all areas of your game, and want more power and a more premium feel than the standard DB, the DB+ is the natural choice.

If maximum power for drag flicking is your priority, the Grays JB (Jumbow) or JB+ ranges are more specialist options with a 200mm bow placement designed specifically for power play.
