🚀 YLB Shape & Drag-Flick Performance

The YLB profile combines an aggressive low bow with Y1’s Carbon Power Chain (CPC) technology to create a stick tailored for drag flicking while remaining stable and forgiving during open play.

A knife-cut head shape and tapered underblade reduce material beneath the head, making it easier to lift the ball, execute 3D skills, and manipulate the ball at speed. The carbon-reinforced backhand blade improves reverse-stick passing and shooting control.

A natural concave sling groove along the shaft enhances the slingshot effect during drag flicks, increasing acceleration without compromising first touch, trapping, or hitting in match situations.

⚖️ Balanced Carbon Construction

Built with 50% Premium Japanese Carbon, the YLB 50 delivers a softer, more controlled feel compared to higher-carbon models. This balanced construction makes the stick more forgiving, helping developing players build confidence in flicking technique, ball control, and consistency.

The YLB 50 is ideal for players stepping into advanced attacking skills while still refining fundamentals.
