Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Special

My first 7ply wood blade. Solid fell with nice built quality. Speedy blade but controllable. I pair wtih rakza 7 on bh which I found it best for my bh : top spin and block counter, decent chop too. Fh palio ak47 red sponge. Nice combo. Love the wooden feel of it. Although lil' head heavy but it make my stroke getting better. Push and touch play was nice and manageable. Overr all it's owesome blade...

Excellent attacking classic base with high control when hitting in different places of the racket. High quality of manufacture and this base is not afraid of hitting the table. It is necessary to install only soft and medium medium rubbers on this base to increase the arc of the ball flight, and tensor rubbers would be even better. This base is designed for the first and second zones. From the third zone, you need a very fast rubber or a lot of effort to hit the ball. On this base I installed rubbers of the new versions Loki Kirin K3 and Loki Kirin K5.

Yasaka Ma lin extra special has a great feeling, more suited for the player who likes to control the game and speed of the ball. excels with blocking and returns, however, maybe due to wood composition and at 7 ply, the attacking, rather than the defensive control game can leave you open. The arc produced on the ball during controlled attacking play is quite high and the sweet spot is very powerful. Therefore, playing with Yasaka Ma-Lin extra special at medium range from the table is excellent. No problems with control.

Good blade but speed is 8.5 not 9.1 Off-
