Y1 ADB 70 - 26/27

Best for: creative all-round players who want extra power and a more responsive feel.

A higher-carbon Y1 stick for players who like to dribble, pass and use 3D skills, but want more punch when hitting, slapping and transferring the ball.

The Advanced Dribble Bow and thinned blade profile make this a great option for creative players who like to carry the ball, move quickly in tight spaces and play across different areas of the pitch. With 70% carbon, it gives a stiffer, more responsive feel than the 30% and 50% versions, offering extra power while still keeping the balanced control this profile is known for.

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.
