Why players pick it
The JLB 10 is the smart step-up stick for juniors. A 10% Japanese Toray carbon blend with aramid and fibreglass gives a young player real power without the harsh, unforgiving feel of a high-carbon stick — exactly what a developing player needs as they advance their game.
A controlled low bow makes 3D skills easier to learn, while the forgiving construction is kind to developing hands in cold weather. At ~500g with a 38cm balance point and 24mm bow, it's an honest first carbon stick.
Y1 is also the only carbon-neutral hockey brand in the industry, offsetting the emissions from making their sticks — a genuine point of difference for parents who care about that.

Common questions
Is this a good first carbon stick?
Yes — at 10% carbon it gives a junior some power while staying forgiving, ideal for players moving up from a beginner wood/composite stick.
What length does my child need?
As a rough guide the stick should reach the hip bone — 33" for smaller juniors, up to 35" for taller players. Pop in and we'll size them.
Why does carbon percentage matter for juniors?
Higher carbon means more power but a stiffer, less forgiving feel. 10% is a junior-friendly balance of power and softness.
Is it suitable for 3D skills?
Yes — the controlled low bow is designed to make lifting and 3D skills easier to learn.
