Y1 GLTD 50 - 26/27

Best for: players who want the GLB low bow shape, easier reverse pickups, strong control and a balanced mix of power and forgiveness.

A limited edition Y1 stick built for players who want the modern GLB shape with a more responsive feel than the lower-carbon models.

The GLTD uses Y1’s GLB 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 control needed for 3D skills, lifts and modern attacking play.

The Backhand Powerzone gives extra support when playing on the reverse, helping with reverse-stick passes, pickups and shots. The Flat Face design also makes it easier to pick the ball up on the reverse and use lifted skills with more confidence.

With 50% premium Japanese carbon and a 50% aramid/fibreglass blend, this version gives a good balance of power, response and touch. It is a strong middle-ground option for players who want the GLB shape with more punch than the 10% version, while still keeping a forgiving feel on the ball.
