Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Extreme Soft Grip is designed for field hockey players seeking enhanced stick control and physical comfort during intense matches or training sessions. It provides an excellent balance of cushioning and tactile feedback through its high-quality EVA backing, though players who prefer a very thin, minimalist feel on their stick handle may find it slightly bulkier than standard base grips.

FAQs

Does this grip come with adhesive backing?

Yes, it features a self-adhesive backing designed for a secure fit on your hockey stick.

Can I use this on a composite hockey stick?

Absolutely. It is compatible with all field hockey stick materials, including composite and wooden sticks.

How often should I replace the grip?

Replacement frequency depends on your playing volume, but it is generally recommended to replace it once the cushion feels flattened or the surface loses its tackiness.

Is this grip waterproof?

While it handles moisture from sweat and light rain well, it is not designed to be submerged in water.

Does the black color bleed onto gloves?

The Kookaburra Extreme Soft Grip is color-fast, though it is always recommended to ensure the grip is installed correctly to prevent any surface rub-off.

Troubleshooting

The grip feels slippery after a few uses.

Wipe the grip down with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated sweat and dust, then allow it to air dry.

The edges of the grip are starting to peel.

Ensure that the finishing tape at the top and bottom of the grip is applied firmly and wraps far enough to cover the grip edges.

The grip feels too thick.

Ensure you are using a consistent overlap during the winding process. Avoid excessive overlap, as this increases the handle diameter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces hand vibration
  • Provides a comfortable, secure grip in wet conditions
  • Easy to install on any standard hockey stick
  • Durable enough for regular training and match play
  • Improves overall stick handling feel

Cons

  • Adds slight thickness to the stick handle
  • May require more frequent replacement than synthetic rubber grips
  • Not suitable for players who prefer a very thin, hard grip feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the grip, first remove any old, worn tape or grip material from the hockey stick handle. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Starting from the top of the handle, wrap the Kookaburra grip downward in a slightly overlapping spiral. Once you reach the desired length, secure the end with a high-quality electrical or hockey finishing tape. Compatibility is universal, as it can be applied over the existing stick handle or used as a primary grip. To care for your grip, wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grit, which helps maintain its tackiness and extends its lifespan.
