Our 2025/26 range has been designed to blend simplicity & style, drawing inspiration from the clean lines, functional elegance, and minimalist ethos of Scandinavian architecture and design. Rooted in simplicity and craftsmanship, each stick reflects a harmonious balance between form and function, delivering both aesthetic appeal and high performance on the field.

The YLB profile is our revolutionary stick that combines an aggressive low bow with our unique Carbon Power Chain Technology. The Carbon Power Chain allows the YLB to benefit from 'knife cut' head shape and tapered underblade. By reducing the underblade on the head of the stick it increases the ease of 3D skills. The backhand blade has been carbon reinforced to improve power and control of reverse stick shots and passes.

The YLB is designed to be the best drag flicking stick in the market. We have included a natural concave shape on the shaft of the stick to aid the slingshot action. This does not reduce playability during normal match play.

The YLB X is manufactured with specially enhanced Swedish carbon to increase the power of the stick to a level above the usual 90/100% carbon sticks. The Swedish X carbon properties in the YLB X also allow the stick to remain incredibly soft to touch.
