RD8

Harrow Field Hockey would like to introduce you to the RD8.

We are really excited about this new top of the line stick that was designed by and for National Team Player and Harrow Sponsored Player, Rachel Dawson. 

Similar to the TEMBO, The RD8 has top of the line composition that is going to give players extreme power and great skill due to its cutting edge "Low Bow" design. The RD8 is designed for International play for top of the line players, but that does not mean that only the top players in the world use it! When you pick up this stick, you are going to see an immediate change in your skill, power, and touch with the ball. The RD8 is not only the top stick that Harrow Produces, it is also one of the top sticks in the game! Every player that picks up this stick raves about the touch. When asked about all of the sticks that we have, Harrow's Brand Manager, Alli Tanner, raves about the RD8 saying, "this stick is such a game changer, I wish I could have played with it when I was in college!" If you are looking for that competitive edge that will put you an inch in front of the competition; at any level, the RD8 is the stick for you!

The combination of the power and touch of the RD8, makes it one of the best sticks in the game. 

Check out the RD8 here:

LOBO

Harrow is Introducing some new Field Hockey sticks into its already stellar lineup of sticks. 

One of which is the new LOBO.  The LOBO has the low bow that is associated with some of our Elite sticks like the TEMBO and the RD8, but the LOBO is going to be a little more forgiving leaving the payer with a great touch on the ball. This is going to be a great stick for a player that wants a great Advanced stick, but does not need the composite power of our Elite sticks. The Low Bow design of the LOBO will enable players to upgrade their game, without having to worry about the ball deflecting too far off of their stick when receiving: giving you more control than the Elite Sticks. 

Not to mention the LOBO's graphics are extremely unique. With one side being white with orange and yellow graphics, and the other side jet black - player's will look slick on the field as well. The product is a great way to get a top of the line stick without the power of the Elite.

USA Leads Series Against Argentina

Last night was the second game of the 4-game series between the USA and Argentina, and we are happy to report that the good guys won, 2-1! The first US goal was scored by Paige Selenski in the first half. For Caroline Nichols, it was a chance to play on her college field, and it definitely proved to be an advantage. With just 4:55 left on the clock, Nichols scored on a drag flick to put the US up 2-0. The US will be playing their next series match at Old Dominion University again tonight, at 8pm. It will be a quick turnaround, but both teams will be ready for the challenge.

USA One Step Closer to London Games

"I walked in and sat down. Lee's lips moved as his words filled the air. My eyes watered and tears fell," words from Harrow's Rachel Dawson's recent blog post for  ESPN W's Blog  about the recent announcement of the 16-player roster for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.  In the post, Rachel talks about the nerve-wracking selection process that the US National Team Coaches make to narrow the normally 25 player team, to only 16. Every athlete has a dream to one day represent their country in an Olympic games, and even though Rachel represented the US in Beijing, she writes about how she believes you can never be too confident when it comes to the selection process. 


After securing their spot in the London Olympics this past October by winning the PanAm Games with a win over top ranked Argentina, the buzz about the US Team has continued to grow. While the Olympics may be a few months away, the US will be playing a four-game series against Argentina June 18-23 at various sites. The game schedule is the following:


June 18 - University of Virginia : 8pm 
June 20 - Old Dominion University : 5pm 
June 21 - Old Dominion University : 8pm
June 23 - National Training Center in Virginia Beach : 1:30pm Broadcast by NBC ET Live


The game on the 23rd is going to be broadcast on NBC 1:30-3:30pm ET Live. This is great step for the sport of field hockey in the US, and we encourage everyone to tune in! The competition should be fierce. 


Harrow wishes the 16 players on the Olympic team the best of luck. We have been and will continue to be cheering you all on!  Click here , for more information about the newly selected US Team roster and more information about the US National team.
