Y1 GLB X - 26/27

Best for: advanced attacking players who want maximum GLB power, elite reverse-stick performance and a premium soft-touch feel.

A top-end Y1 stick built for players who want serious power without losing the controlled, technical feel of the GLB shape.

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 when trapping, hitting and passing, while still giving you the lift and control needed for modern attacking play.

The extended Backhand Powerzone is one of the standout features, giving extra support and response when playing on the reverse. If you like reverse-stick shots, quick passes under pressure or attacking around the D, the GLB X gives you a powerful and controlled feel on both sides of the stick.

With 95% carbon and a Swedish X Carbon jacket, the GLB X is built to deliver power above the usual high-carbon models while still keeping an impressively soft touch on the ball. It is the premium option in the GLB range for players who want the most responsive version of this shape.
