Y1 BB 70 - 26/27

Best for: attacking players who want close control, flicking ability and strong reverse-stick power.

A high-control Y1 stick built for players who like to keep the ball close, move quickly and create attacking opportunities.

The BB 70 uses Cradle Control Technology to help keep the ball connected to the head, making dribbling, flicking and quick ball manipulation feel smoother. The aggressive low bow profile is ideal for players who like 3D skills, lifted passes and attacking play around the D.

With 70% premium Japanese carbon, it gives a strong blend of power and touch — enough punch for passing and shooting, but still with the softer, silkier feel needed for close control. The reinforced backhand area adds extra support for reverse-stick shots and passes, helping with power and accuracy on the move.
