Y1 Hockey YLB 30

Developing Drag-Flick Control 

The Y1 Hockey YLB 30 is built for players beginning their journey into drag-flicking and aerial skills, without sacrificing confidence in core hockey fundamentals. Featuring the revolutionary YLB shape with a softer, more forgiving carbon construction, the YLB 30 is ideal for developing attackers looking to build technique, control, and consistency.

🌌 Behind the Cosmic Inspiration

Born from the energy of the universe, the Cosmic Range celebrates limitless potential. Metallic and foil detailing reflect the glow of distant galaxies, while carefully selected materials deliver reliable performance on the pitch.

Inspired by the unknown.
Engineered for control.
Designed for those who dare to play out of this world.

🚀 YLB Shape & Skill Development

The YLB profile combines an aggressive low bow with Y1’s Carbon Power Chain (CPC) technology, creating a stick that supports drag-flicking technique while remaining stable and easy to use during normal match play.

A knife-cut head shape and tapered underblade reduce material beneath the head, making it easier for developing players to lift the ball, execute basic 3D skills, and improve ball manipulation. The carbon-reinforced backhand blade adds confidence when playing reverse-stick passes and shots.

A natural concave sling groove in the shaft enhances the slingshot effect during drag flicks, helping players learn correct flicking mechanics without compromising trapping, passing, or hitting.

⚖️ Forgiving Carbon Construction

With 30% Premium Japanese Carbon, the YLB 30 offers a softer feel and increased forgiveness—perfect for players still refining technique. The higher fibreglass and aramid content improves touch, control, and comfort, making this stick an excellent step up from beginner models.

The YLB 30 is ideal for developing players who want to explore drag flicking while maintaining strong fundamentals.
