Y1 GGLB X.2 - 26/27

Best for: attacking players who want premium GLB power, strong reverse-stick performance and a sharper, more responsive feel.

A premium Y1 stick built for players who want the benefits of the GLB shape with extra power and a more responsive touch.

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

With 80% premium Japanese carbon and a Swedish X Carbon jacket, this version gives a more powerful and responsive feel than the 70% model, while still keeping the touch and control needed for technical players.
