Our 2026/27 Cosmic range is inspired by the intersection of modern technology and fluid design. Drawing from the precision of AI-driven innovation, this collection prioritises a clean, tech-focused aesthetic that doesn't compromise on feel. Each stick is crafted to reflect a smart balance of technical performance and refined style, offering a streamlined experience on the field. It's a range built for the modern player who values intelligent design, delivering a look and feel that is as progressive as the technology that inspired it.

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.
