How to apply your Sleeve

Use boiling water or a heat gun. Make sure you have the right size and that your base grip is thick enough, so the Sleeve shrinks tight. Let the bottom shrink well too.

  1. Slide on Slide the Sleeve over the handle of your stick, over your base grip.
  2. Heat & shrink Pour boiling water over it, or use a heat gun. It shrinks to a tight fit.
  3. Finish Let it cool down and check that the bottom has shrunk tight too. Ready to play.

Careful: boiling water and a heat gun can burn. Keep children at a distance and protect your hands.

🤩 I’ve been using the Ribbon cork sports grip for a long time now and can honestly say it’s an awesome product. My players love it and swear by it just as much as I do.

Lieke is a true professional in the way she runs Ribbon, and I’m really grateful for her support and friendship along the way.

If you haven’t tried it yet – don’t wait. Buy today!!

Love how easy it was to apply and how premium it feels. Game changer.

Questions? We have the answers

What is a hockey base grip?

A hockey base grip is the first layer wrapped directly around your stick. It adds comfort, cushioning and shock absorption while creating the perfect foundation for an overgrip.

Can I use the Cork Grip without an overgrip?

Yes. The RIBBON Cork Grip performs perfectly on its own. However, combining it with the RIBBON Sleeve Grip creates the best balance between comfort, grip and stick feel.

Does the Cork Grip reduce vibrations?

Yes. The cushioned construction helps absorb vibrations from passes, hits and tackles, making every touch feel softer and more controlled.

How long does a Cork Grip last?

A Cork Grip typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on how often you play. If the grip starts to feel compressed or loses its cushioning, it's time for a replacement.

Is the Cork Grip suitable for all field hockey players?

Absolutely. From junior players to elite athletes, every hockey player benefits from increased comfort and reduced vibrations.
