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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30% Japanese Toray carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e – blended with 70% aramid and fibreglass for stiffness without harshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24.5mm low bow at 200mm\u003c\/strong\u003e – a dynamic bow profile positioned for drag-flicking and aerial work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaved head design\u003c\/strong\u003e – a slimmed head profile for cleaner contact on 3D skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecurved toe\u003c\/strong\u003e – makes picking the ball up off the turf easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced backhand zone\u003c\/strong\u003e – reinforced where reverse-stick hitting loads the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCosmic 2026\/27 silver colourway\u003c\/strong\u003e – the tech-led finish across the new range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eY1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLB 30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCosmic 2026\/27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30% Japanese Toray carbon, 70% aramid and fibreglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow bow, 24.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBow Position\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200mm from the heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 525g (±10g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalance Point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 39cm (±1cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaved head with recurved toe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClub, county and performance players; drag-flickers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from YC Sports?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% Genuine \u0026amp; Authorised Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏑 Trusted Field Hockey Specialist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Secure Packaging \u0026amp; Fast Processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🤝 Reliable Customer Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🆕 Access to Latest Releases \u0026amp; Collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA serious low bow for players who want to flick, at the accessible end of Y1's carbon range.
