Y1 MR 30 - 26/27

Best for: developing midfielders who want easier close control, quicker dribbling and a forgiving low bow feel.

A modern Y1 stick built for midfield players who want to carry, move and distribute the ball with confidence.

The MR profile is designed for players who like a thinner low bow shape with a responsive feel when dribbling. It gives you the control needed for quick changes of direction, tight skills and moving the ball at speed through midfield.

The Touch Toe head increases the surface area available for left-to-right drags, helping with close control and ball movement under pressure. Combined with the Y1 Powerbar, the MR gives you good dynamic speed when carrying the ball without losing slap power.

With 30% premium Japanese carbon and a 70% fibreglass/aramid blend, this version has a softer, more forgiving feel than the higher-carbon MR models. It is a great option for players who want the MR shape and Y1 technology without the stick feeling too stiff.
