Y1 LB 30 Hockey Stick 2026/27 - Silver

The Y1 LB 30 is the entry point into Y1's Cosmic 2026/27 carbon range, and it is a properly aggressive stick rather than a soft starter. A 24.5mm low bow set at 200mm from the heel puts it firmly in drag-flick territory, while a 30% Japanese Toray carbon lay-up keeps enough forgiveness in the shaft for everyday club training. Finished in the range's striking silver.

Key Features

• 30% Japanese Toray carbon – blended with 70% aramid and fibreglass for stiffness without harshness.
• 24.5mm low bow at 200mm – a dynamic bow profile positioned for drag-flicking and aerial work.
• Shaved head design – a slimmed head profile for cleaner contact on 3D skills.
• Recurved toe – makes picking the ball up off the turf easier.
• Enhanced backhand zone – reinforced where reverse-stick hitting loads the head.
• Cosmic 2026/27 silver colourway – the tech-led finish across the new range.

Performance Overview

Bow position is what separates hockey sticks, and 200mm is about as late as a low bow goes — the curve sits well down the shaft, which is exactly what a drag-flicker wants for loading the ball on the run. At around 525g with a balance point near 39cm, the LB 30 sits mid-weight and slightly head-light, so it retains the whip needed for flicks while staying manageable in tight elimination work. The 30% carbon content is the sensible part of the equation: enough stiffness to hit hard and flick cleanly, but far more forgiving on trapping than a 90% stick, which matters when you are playing on club pitches rather than international water-based turf.

Benefits

A genuine attacking low bow at a price that does not require an international budget, with the durability to survive a full club and county season. For a player learning to drag-flick or moving up from a beginner's stick, it opens up 3D skills without punishing every imperfect first touch.
