Y1 GLB 30 - 26/27

Best for: developing attacking players who want easier 3D skills, stronger reverse-stick play and a more controlled low bow feel.

A modern Y1 stick built for players who want the benefits of a low bow without losing confidence when trapping, hitting and passing.

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 stable on the ball, making it easier to trap, pick up on the reverse and use 3D skills without the bow getting in the way.

The extended Backhand Powerzone is the standout feature, giving extra support and response when playing on the reverse. If you like reverse-stick passes, shots around the D or quick attacking play, the GLB shape gives you a really useful blend of control and power transfer.

With 30% premium Japanese carbon and a 70% aramid/fibreglass blend, this stick is a great option for players who want a softer, more forgiving feel than the higher-carbon models, while still getting the modern Y1 shape and technology.
