Our 2023/24 range is here to celebrate the amazing nature, colours and culture that can be found in Africa. As a company, Y1 is now carbon neutral and we are continually looking to reduce our impact on the planet, from reducing single use plastics to offsetting our carbon footprint. We are only at the beginning of our sustainability journey and we have a long way to go, however our passion for growing the game feels especially relevant with this year’s range.

70
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 BB 70 stick is engineered for players who demand exceptional ball control and precision. With innovative Cradle Control Technology, the BB 70 ensures that the ball stays connected to the head, making dribbling and flicking feel effortless. Its carefully designed contours enhance the cradling effect, allowing for smooth movements and quick ball manipulations. At 70% carbon this stick produces incredible power while retaining a wonderful silky and soft touch.
For reverse stick shots and passes, the BB X features a reinforced backhand, delivering consistent power and accuracy every time. Ideal for players who need superior control and strength in their attaching plays, the BB X really does set a new standard for modern hockey sticks and what is possible with the shape from the shaft to toe.
