Y1 JLB 30 - 26/27

Best for: advanced junior players who are moving towards adult sticks and want easier 3D skills, good power and a more forgiving feel.

A great Y1 junior stick for young players who are ready to take the next step in their game.

The JLB 30 is built with a controlled low bow to help make 3D skills, lifts and more attacking play easier. It gives developing juniors a modern shape without making the stick too stiff or hard to handle.

With 30% Japanese Toray carbon and a 70% aramid/fibreglass blend, this stick gives a useful mix of power, touch and forgiveness. That softer feel is especially helpful for younger players, giving them more confidence on the ball and a bit more comfort in colder conditions.

At 510g +/- 10g, it is slightly lighter than many senior sticks, making it a strong option for advancing juniors who are starting to transition from junior sticks towards adult-level performance.
