Y1 LB 30 - 26/27

Best for: developing players who want an easy low bow feel, smoother 3D skills and help lifting the ball for flicks and aerials.

A softer-feeling Y1 stick built for players who want to develop drag flicking, aerials and attacking skills without moving into a stiff, high-carbon model.

The Dynamic Bow shape is designed to create a slingshot feel when flicking, making it a strong option for players who like to lift the ball, throw aerials or work on drag flicking technique. The 24.5mm bow with a 200mm bow placement gives you plenty of assistance for modern attacking skills.

The slightly thinned, shaved head profile helps you get under the ball more easily, while the recurved toe supports reverse pickups and 3D skills on the move. It is a shape that suits technical players who want the stick to help with lift, control and quick handling.

With 30% premium Japanese carbon and a 70% aramid/fibreglass blend, this version offers the softest, most forgiving feel in the range. It is ideal if you want Y1 technology, touch and control without the stick feeling too stiff or unforgiving.
