Y1 GLB 70 - 26/27

Best for: attacking players who want the modern GLB low bow shape with extra power, strong reverse-stick performance and a more responsive feel.

A high-performance Y1 stick built for players who want a low bow shape that still feels stable 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 controlled on the ball, making it easier to trap, pick up on the reverse and use 3D skills without the bow profile getting in the way.

The extended Backhand Powerzone is one of the key features, giving extra support and response when playing on the reverse. If you like reverse-stick passes, quick shots around the D or attacking play under pressure, the GLB shape gives you a strong blend of control and power transfer.

With 70% premium Japanese carbon and a 30% aramid/fibreglass blend, this version gives a more powerful and responsive feel than the 50% model, while still keeping enough touch and control for technical players.
