Grays JB Sticks

Grays JB Hockey Sticks — The Jumbow Range

The Grays JB range is built around the Jumbow — Grays' power profile. A 24.75mm bow at 200mm placement with a Maxi head shape, the Jumbow is designed to maximise power in hitting, drag flicking and aerials. The earlier bow placement and Maxi head work together to give you more leverage and a bigger striking surface, making it the natural choice for players who want to dominate the ball and execute powerful plays.

Graphene-enhanced construction runs through the mid-to-high end of the range, improving stiffness and power transfer at every level. The Maxi head shape gives a larger contact area for hitting and drag flicking, and the Jumbow profile is trusted at club, regional and international level as Grays' most powerful bow shape.

The JB range spans from the JB4 for developing players through to the JB10 flagship, with junior and senior options available across the range. If power, drag flicking and hitting performance are the priorities in your game, the Jumbow is the profile to start with in the Grays lineup. Read on for a full breakdown of the range and advice on choosing the right model.

Choosing the Right Grays JB Stick

The JB range spans six model tiers, all built around the same Jumbow profile (24.75mm bow, 200mm placement, Maxi head) with increasing levels of graphene integration and carbon construction as the number rises:

  • JB4 — Entry-level Jumbow. Graphene-enhanced construction with a forgiving feel. Ideal for developing players who want the Jumbow power profile at an accessible level. Available in junior and senior.
  • JB5 — A step up in construction and response. More graphene integration for improved power transfer. A strong option for developing to intermediate players who want more from the Jumbow profile. Available in junior and senior.
  • JB6 — Mid-range performance. Graphene-enhanced construction suited to intermediate players who want a reliable, powerful Jumbow stick for club hockey. Available in junior and senior.
  • JB7 — High-performance Jumbow. More advanced graphene construction for intermediate to advanced players who want stronger power transfer and a more responsive feel. Available in senior.
  • JB8 — Advanced Jumbow. Graphene matrix construction with exposed carbon fabric and textured 3D print. For advanced players who want serious power and a premium finish. Available in senior.
  • JB9 — Near-flagship performance. Graphene-infused material matrix with Maxi head configuration. For advanced players pushing toward elite level. Available in senior.
  • JB10 — The flagship JB. The highest power rating in the standard JB collection, with the most advanced graphene construction and Maxi head. For advanced to elite players who want the best version of the Jumbow profile. Available in senior.

All models share the same Jumbow profile — 24.75mm bow with 200mm placement and Maxi head shape. For the elite tier of the Jumbow range with the JB+ face profile, see the Grays JB+ range.

Who Is the Grays JB For?

The JB is Grays' power profile — built for players who prioritise hitting power, drag flicking and aerials. If you play in a position where you need to generate power quickly, execute drag flicks at pace or dominate in aerial situations, the Jumbow gives you the shape and construction to do it.

It's a more specialist choice than the DB. If you want a versatile all-round low bow that works across every area of your game, the Grays DB (Dynabow) is the more balanced option. If you want the elite tier of the Jumbow shape, the JB+ range offers the JB+ face profile and highest power rating in the Grays lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Jumbow profile?
The Jumbow is Grays' power bow profile. A 24.75mm bow at 200mm placement with a Maxi head shape, it's designed to maximise power in hitting, drag flicking and aerials. The earlier bow placement and larger Maxi head give more leverage and a bigger striking surface than the standard Dynabow.
What's the difference between the JB and DB?
The DB (Dynabow) uses a 250mm bow placement and Micro head — a versatile all-round profile. The JB (Jumbow) uses a 200mm placement and Maxi head — a more specialist power profile for hitting, drag flicking and aerials. Choose the DB for all-round play; choose the JB if power is your priority.
What's the difference between the JB and JB+?
Both use the Jumbow profile at 200mm placement. The JB+ adds the JB+ face profile and the highest power rating in the Grays range, making it the elite tier of the Jumbow lineup. The JB+ suits advanced and elite players who want maximum performance from the Jumbow shape.
What does the model number mean?
Within the JB range, the number indicates the level of construction and performance. Higher numbers mean more advanced graphene integration, better carbon layup and higher power ratings. JB4 is entry-level; JB10 is the flagship.
What size do I need?
Most adult players use a 36.5" stick. Junior players use shorter lengths depending on height. Check our hockey stick size guide for a full breakdown by age and height.
