Grays GK Shootout Goalkeeping Stick | 2026/2027 Performance Series
Maximum Reach. Ultimate Wall. The Grays GK Shootout stick is a specialist piece of equipment engineered for the high-pressure environment of penalty shuttles and modern goalkeeping. While the flagship model is built to the maximum legal length of 41.3" to grant goalkeepers unparalleled reach during shootouts, the 2026/2027 collection now includes 36.5" and 37.5" versions. These standard lengths are optimized for general match play, providing keepers with an increased surface area for traditional saves while maintaining the elite handling characteristics of the Shootout range.
Performance Technical Innovations
The GK Shootout is designed to be a larger, more stable barrier between the ball and the back of the net.
-
Specialist Shootout Length (41.3"): For the specialist model, Grays has utilized the maximum length allowed under FIH regulations. This extra length is a game-changer for penalty shuttles, allowing keepers to disrupt attackers' dribbling paths earlier and cover more of the goal mouth.
-
Exclusive Headshape Profile: The head of the stick features a unique, widened geometry. This creates a significantly larger surface area compared to standard sticks, acting as a "barrier" to ensure more clean blocks and fewer "trickle-through" goals.
-
Octagonal Handle Geometry: Goalkeeping often requires one-handed lunges and rapid stick rotations. The octagonal handle provides superior torsional stability, preventing the stick from twisting in the hand upon high-velocity impact.
-
Enhanced Save Surface: By optimizing the profile of the shaft and head, the GK Shootout offers a wider hitting and blocking zone, making it easier to execute stick-saves and ground-blocks with clinical precision.
-
Balanced Weight Distribution: Despite the increased surface area and length, the stick is carefully balanced to ensure it remains agile enough for rapid reaction saves.
