Y1 GGLB 70 - 26/27

Best for: attacking players who want a more powerful low bow feel, excellent reverse-stick control and a responsive touch on the ball.

A high-performance Y1 stick built for players who want the benefits of the GLB shape with a stronger, more responsive feel.

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 like reverse-stick passes, pickups, 3D skills or quick attacking play around the D, the GLB shape gives you a strong blend of control, confidence and power transfer.

With 70% premium Japanese carbon and a 30% aramid/fibreglass blend, this version gives more power and response than the 50% model while still keeping enough feel for players who like to stay connected to the ball.
