Y1 ADB 30 - 26/27

Best for: creative all-round players who like dribbling, 3D skills and passing.

A versatile Y1 stick for players who want a bit of everything: control, creativity and reliable passing from anywhere on the pitch.

The Advanced Dribble Bow and thinned blade profile make this a great option for players who like to carry the ball, move quickly in tight spaces and use 3D skills without losing the ability to pass and play simply. With 30% carbon, it has a more forgiving feel than the higher-carbon models, making it ideal for developing players or anyone who wants control and touch over out-and-out stiffness.

The reduced head shape and Balanced Toe design help with reverse picking, lifting and quick skills on the move, while the Hot Edge backhand zone gives extra support when striking or passing on the reverse.
