2026/27 Y1 Hockey Stick Range at a Glance

Junior Sticks: Starting Out and Moving Up

If you're buying for a young player, Y1's junior line covers the full spectrum from absolute beginner to serious club junior. The entry point is the JMB series — available as the Y1 JMB Junior Pink Hockey Stick (2026/27) and Y1 JMB Junior Blue Hockey Stick (2026/27), both currently £44.99 (down from £49.99). At this price point, these are sensible first sticks — the colour options mean younger players can simply pick the one they prefer, and the saving makes it an easier decision when you're not yet sure how committed they'll be.

As confidence and ability grow, the Y1 JLB 10 Junior Hockey Stick (2026/27) at £53.99 (was £59.99) offers a step up for players who've caught the bug and are playing regularly. Another level again is the Y1 JLB 20 Junior Hockey Stick (2026/27) at £71.99 (was £79.99) — a solid choice for juniors playing weekly club hockey and starting to develop real technique.

For the junior who's training twice a week and competing at district or county level, the Y1 JF 30 Junior Hockey Stick (2026/27) at £89.99 (was £99.99) is worth the investment. It sits at the top of Y1's junior range and bridges the gap to adult sticks nicely.

Adult Club Sticks: Finding Your Level

Y1's adult club range is where the line-up really expands. The brand offers several parallel series — YLB, MR, LB, GGLB (green), GLB (pink), BB and ADB — each running from a 30-level entry model up through 50, 70, X.2 and X. Think of the number as a rough guide to specification and stiffness rather than a strict hierarchy; different series suit different playing styles. The good news is that, whichever series appeals, the pricing tiers are consistent across them.

Entry club (30-level): £98.99

The 30-level sticks — including the Y1 YLB 30 (2026/27), Y1 MR 30 (2026/27), Y1 LB 30 (2026/27), Y1 GGLB 30 Green (2026/27), Y1 GLB 30 Pink (2026/27), Y1 ADB 30 (2026/27) and the BB series starting at the 70 — are all £98.99 (down from £109.99). These suit adult beginners or returning players who want a proper club stick without over-spending.

Mid club (50-level): £125.99

Step to the 50-level and you're at £125.99 (was £139.99). The Y1 YLB 50 (2026/27), Y1 MR 50 (2026/27), Y1 LB 50 (2026/27), Y1 GGLB 50 Green (2026/27), Y1 GLB 50 Pink (2026/27) and Y1 ADB 50 (2026/27) all sit here. This tier is ideal for established recreational club players who train regularly and want noticeably more from their stick.

Club to county (70-level): £170.99

The 70-level is where most committed club players settle. At £170.99 (was £189.99), options include the Y1 YLB 70 (2026/27), Y1 MR 70 (2026/27), Y1 LB 70 (2026/27), Y1 GGLB 70 Green (2026/27), Y1 GLB 70 Pink (2026/27), Y1 ADB 70 (2026/27) and the Y1 BB 70 (2026/27). If you're playing first or second team club hockey, training two or three times a week, or competing at county level, a 70-tier stick will feel properly responsive.

Advanced and elite (X.2 and X-level): £233.99–£305.99

The X.2 models — YLB X.2, MR X.2, LB X.2, GGLB X.2 Green, GLB X.2 Pink, ADB X.2 — all come in at £233.99 (was £259.99), saving you £26 each at launch. At the very top of the range, the X-level sticks — YLB X, MR X, LB X, GGLB X Green, GLB X Pink, ADB X, BB X.2, BB X, AH16 X — are all £305.99 (was £339.99), a £34 saving. These are sticks for players who simply need the best available and train at a level where that investment is justified.

The AH16 Series: A Three-Step Range

The AH16 is a more focused, three-model series. The Y1 AH16 10 (2026/27) at £62.99 (was £69.99) is a capable adult stick at a very accessible price — excellent if you're an adult beginner or social player. The Y1 AH16 60 (2026/27) at £152.99 (was £169.99) sits in solid mid-range territory, and the AH16 X tops out at elite specification.

Goalkeeper Sticks

Y1 has two dedicated goalkeeper options in this range. The Y1 GK Shootout Hockey Stick (2026/27) at £98.99 (was £109.99) is the right choice for club keepers who want a reliable, well-priced GK-specific stick. Those playing at a higher level or wanting more from their kit should look at the Y1 GK F9 Hockey Stick (2026/27), currently £152.99 (was £169.99). Both are shaped and sized for the goalkeeper position, so if you're between the posts, don't make do with an outfield stick.

Colourway Choices: GGLB Green and GLB Pink

Y1 has long offered colourway-specific lines for players who want their stick to stand out on the pitch. The GGLB green series and GLB pink series run the full five-tier spectrum from 30 to X, meaning you're not sacrificing specification for aesthetics. The pricing is identical to the equivalent YLB or LB tier, so it genuinely comes down to personal preference. Both are on the same launch offer discount as the rest of the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Y1 stick should I buy as a complete adult beginner?

The Y1 AH16 10 at £62.99 is our top pick for adult beginners — it's an honest, well-made club stick at a price that makes sense before you're fully committed to the sport. Alternatively, the ADB 30, LB 30 or YLB 30 at £98.99 each give you a bit more stick for not much more money.

What's the difference between the YLB, MR, LB, ADB and BB series?

These are Y1's parallel adult lines, each with its own bow profile and feel to suit different playing styles and positions. The numbering within each series (30, 50, 70, X.2, X) indicates specification level. If you're unsure which series suits you, drop us a message — our staff play and coach, and we're happy to advise.

Are these sticks suitable for juniors moving into adult sizes?

Yes. The Y1 JF 30 Junior at £89.99 bridges the gap well for older juniors not yet ready to move to adult length. Once a player is comfortable in a full adult size, the 30-level adult sticks at £98.99 are the natural next step without a big jump in cost.

Are all the launch offer prices time-limited?

All 41 sticks in the 2026/27 Y1 range are currently on offer, with savings ranging from £6 to £34 per stick. We'd recommend ordering sooner rather than later — popular models and sizes tend to sell through quickly once the season gets underway and stock isn't always replenished at offer pricing.
