Grays International (Grays) is a British company specialising in field hockey sticks and equipment.
It was founded in 1855 by raquets champion H.J. Gray, and initially sold equipment for hockey, raquets and cricket under the 'Gray-Nicolls' brand. Nowadays it is regarded as a leading brand in hockey: their hockey sticks are popular among many players around the world. Grays sponsors many professional players, including Jamie Dwyer of Australia and Barry Middleton of England.
Grays is known for their signature GX line of hockey sticks, ranging from the GX2000 to the GX8000. Grays have also released offshoots of the GX line, including the Turbo, Jumbow and Megabow versions. The Jumbow series is especially popular with drag flick exponents, who value its increased bow curvature.
Grays purchased Gilbert in 2002.
