What is Mazon Hockey?
Mazon Hockey is an Australian field hockey brand that sells sticks, bags, goalkeeper gear, balls, shin guards, gloves and other accessories through its own site, Mazon Hockey. Its stated design principle is that the equipment is made by hockey players for hockey players and built for the pitch rather than for other sports.
What the site shows
- Sticks as the core range: the homepage leads with the BlackMagic line, split into XPro, 9series and 7series tiers, with models listed in several length and curve codes.
- Gear beyond sticks: bags, player gear and goalkeeper equipment sit alongside sticks, so a single order can cover most of a kit.
- A junior path: a junior line is listed, which matters for parents buying a first serious stick.
- Direct-to-consumer framing: the site sells its own brand rather than acting as a multi-brand retailer, so the range is deep within Mazon's lines but narrow across the market.
Who it suits
A club player replacing a stick and bag in one purchase, or a parent kitting out a junior, will find the tiered stick range and accessory coverage convenient. A goalkeeper looking for specialist gear will find a dedicated category, though the homepage emphasis on sticks suggests field players are the primary audience. Players who want to compare many brands side by side are better served by a general retailer such as Just Hockey or Hockey Monkey.
A practical next step
Before choosing a tier, check the length and curve code against your position and height, since the same model name appears in multiple codes. If you are unsure between two tiers, the junior or lower series is the safer starting point for a newer player, while the top series is aimed at players who already know their preferred spec.
How do I choose the right Mazon hockey stick size and model for my level of play?
Choose your Mazon stick in two passes: first match the model family to your level of play, then match the stick's size code to your height and position. On Mazon Hockey, the range runs from the junior line through the 7series and 9series up to the BlackMagic XPro, with size codes such as MB, LB, PB, XLB and XLG shown against individual models.
Step 1: Pick the model family by level
| Level | Sensible starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Junior / beginner | Junior range, then BlackMagic 7series | Lighter, more forgiving build for learning skills |
| Club and school players | BlackMagic 9series (Eagle, 360, Slingshot) | Broad choice of shapes and sizes at a mid-tier level |
| Strong senior / competitive | BlackMagic XPro | Top of the listed range, aimed at players who want maximum performance |
The trade-off is straightforward: lower tiers are easier to handle and cheaper to replace while you develop, while the higher tiers reward strong technique but punish sloppy hitting. A developing player gains more from a well-sized mid-tier stick than from an oversized top-end one.
Step 2: Match the size code to your body and role
Mazon lists models in several size codes, and the same model appears in more than one. Use the codes as a guide, then confirm against the size chart or ask the brand directly:
- MB — typically the shortest adult or youth option; suits smaller players and younger juniors.
- LB — a common adult length; a safe default for most club players.
- PB / PBH — a longer adult length for taller players.
- XLB / XLG — extended lengths for very tall players or those who prefer a longer reach.
Practical checks before you commit:
- Stand the stick upright; the top should sit around hip to waist height for most outfield players.
- Defenders and drag-flickers often prefer the longer end of the range for reach and power.
- Forwards and dribblers often prefer the shorter end for close control.
- Goalkeepers should look at the dedicated goalkeeping range rather than outfield sticks.
A concrete example
A 15-year-old club midfielder moving up from junior sticks might shortlist a BlackMagic 9series in LB, then compare the Eagle and 360 shapes to see which suits their hitting style. A tall adult defender with a powerful slap might look at PB or XLB in the same series, or step up to the XPro if they play at a high level.
As a next step, open the sticks section on Mazon Hockey, filter by the size code that fits your height, and compare two or three models within your level band before deciding.
What is the difference between the BlackMagic XPro, 9series, and 7series sticks?
The pages describe three BlackMagic tiers rather than three individual sticks: XPro is the top line, 9series is the broad middle family, and 7series is the junior-focused entry line. The clearest difference is range and audience. XPro appears as one model offered in several length/weight variants; 9series spreads across several named models (Eagle, Slingshot, 360) in multiple variants; 7series is listed only as a junior option.
How the lines differ in practice
| Line | What the site shows | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| BlackMagic XPro | A single flagship model with MB, LB, XLB and XLG variants | Experienced players who want the top tier and will pick a variant to match their size and preference |
| BlackMagic 9series | Several distinct models, each with its own variant set (Eagle, Slingshot, 360) | Players choosing between different model profiles within one family, from strong club level upward |
| 7series | Presented as a junior line | Younger or developing players moving into a full composite stick |
The practical distinction is choice versus focus. XPro asks you to choose a variant of one design; 9series asks you to choose a model first, then a variant. That makes 9series the harder but more flexible decision, and XPro the simpler one if you already know your preferred setup.
A useful next step
Start from your playing level and stick length, not from the tier name. A junior player should look at 7series first; an adult club player comparing feel across designs should compare the 9series models side by side; a player who wants the flagship and knows their variant can go straight to XPro. The site's own product pages at Mazon Hockey carry the model and variant details needed to confirm fit before choosing.
Does Mazon ship internationally and what currency will I be charged in?
Mazon Hockey's site presents itself as a "world wide" storefront with a currency selector in its main menu, so it is set up for shoppers outside Australia. The page evidence does not confirm a specific list of countries it ships to, delivery costs, or which currency your card will ultimately be charged in. Those details sit in the checkout and shipping policy, not the homepage.
What to check before ordering
- Currency selector: The menu includes a currency option, which usually lets you view prices in a currency other than AUD. Whether that is the currency you are billed in depends on the checkout, so confirm it at the payment step rather than assuming the displayed currency is final.
- Shipping destinations: The "World Wide" framing suggests international availability, but treat that as positioning, not a guaranteed destination list. Check the shipping page or enter your address at checkout to see whether your country is served.
- Duties and taxes: For cross-border orders, import duties or local taxes are often charged on delivery and may not be included in the listed price. Budget for that separately.
- Card fees: If you pay in a currency other than your card's home currency, your bank may add a conversion or foreign-transaction fee.
For a concrete case: a buyer in New Zealand or the UK browsing the BlackMagic range should first switch the currency selector to see indicative pricing, then proceed to checkout to confirm the billed currency and whether their address is accepted. If the checkout only offers AUD, expect your card issuer to convert and possibly add a fee.
As a next step, read the site's shipping and returns policy before committing to a stick or bag, since international return shipping on bulky gear can outweigh the savings.
What goalkeeper gear and protective equipment does Mazon offer?
Mazon’s goalkeeper range is not detailed on the homepage beyond a “Hockey Goal Keeping” category; the visible product evidence centres on field-player sticks. For protective equipment, the site names shin guards and gloves, and it also lists balls, bags and accessories. It does not show goalkeeper-specific helmet, leg-guard or kicker models in the supplied page content.
What the page supports
- Goalkeeper gear: a dedicated “Hockey Goal Keeping” category is named in the site description, but no individual keeper products are shown.
- Protective equipment: shin guards and gloves are named; no model-level details are supplied.
- Other hockey equipment: sticks (including BlackMagic XPro and 9series), bags, balls and accessories.
- Audience: players looking for field-hockey gear from an Australian brand that describes its products as designed by hockey players for use on the field.
How to use this
If you are equipping a goalkeeper, start with the goalkeeper category rather than the stick listings, then confirm the specific leg-guard, kicker, hand-protector and helmet options directly with the retailer. For a field player, the named shin guards and gloves are the relevant protective items to check alongside stick options. As general advice, goalkeeper protection should be matched to the level and format of play, since junior and senior requirements differ.
For broader range comparison, other specialist hockey retailers include Grays Hockey and Osaka Hockey.
How can I join #TeamMazon and what does the community include?
Joining #TeamMazon means following Mazon Hockey on social media and using the hashtag — that's the mechanism the brand itself promotes. The site repeatedly displays "JOIN #TEAMMAZON TODAY | @MAZONHOCKEY," which points to its Instagram-style handle as the place to connect. There is no separate membership tier, fee, or application described on the page, so treat it as a social community rather than a formal club.
What the community appears to include
- A shared audience of hockey players — Mazon describes its products as "designed by hockey players for hockey players," so the community skews toward field hockey players using or considering the brand.
- Product-focused content — the site groups its range into All Sticks, All Bags, Players Gear, and collections such as BlackMagic XPro, BlackMagic 9series, BlackMagic 7series, and Junior, which suggests the feed is where new gear and player setups get shown.
- A junior pathway — the explicit Junior line means younger players and their parents are part of the intended audience, not just adult club players.
Practical next step
If you want in, follow @MAZONHOCKEY and post with #TeamMazon — a photo or clip of your setup is the simplest way to participate. If you're a coach or club organiser, the more useful move is to check the site's Players Gear and Junior sections first so any post you share reflects gear that actually suits your squad.
A note on fit
The community is brand-centred: its value comes from seeing how other players use Mazon sticks and bags and from the identity of being "honest to hockey." If you play a different sport or want neutral, brand-agnostic discussion, this isn't that kind of space. For broader field hockey communities, official governing-body sites such as International Hockey Federation are the more general reference point.
