Y1 GGLB 50 - 26/27

Best for: players who want a balanced low bow feel, better reverse-stick control and a good mix of power and touch.

A modern Y1 stick built for players who want a low bow shape that still feels stable and manageable in general play.

The GLB uses Y1’s new shape, combining a smooth low bow with a squared shaft and flatter face. This helps keep the stick feeling controlled when trapping, hitting and passing, while still giving you the lift and handling needed for modern attacking play.

The extended Backhand Powerzone is one of the key features, giving extra support when playing on the reverse. If you are working on reverse-stick passes, pickups, 3D skills or quick attacking play, the GLB shape gives you a useful blend of control, confidence and power transfer.

With 50% premium Japanese carbon and a 50% aramid/fibreglass blend, this version gives more response than the 30% model while still keeping a forgiving feel on the ball. It is a strong middle-ground option for players who want performance without the stick feeling too stiff.
