Grays AC Range Stick Guide

On the Market - Grays

The AC range took the market by storm, adding two new profiles to the Grays range, which has not happened for over a decade. The AeroCore foam technology improves touch & feel without losing power or adding weight while giving total control of weight distribution. It is the only Grays range which does not offer a junior option. To help you compare & chose Grays have also applied the PCS rating system to the new AC range.

The energy transfer efficiency rating. The higher the power rating the better the stick will be when hitting & slapping.

The energy absorption rating. A higher control rating gives better touch & feel ideal for receiving balls at pace with ease & glued to the end of your stick.

The balance & mobility rating. A high speed rating indicates how easy it is to manoeuvre the stick when performing 3D skills & dribbling, suggests a high balance point & light weight. If you are looking for a stick suited to hard hits & slaps look for a lower speed rating.
