Yasaka Silverline All Wood

Summary: unbeatable value for a controlled and spinny all wood blade around Off-/All+ speed. Decent sweet spot size with good amount of feeling. This was my second blade after the YEO 7 Power with the same rubbers. I use reverse penhold backhand (RPB) and my playing level is currently around 1700 US rating. I want to emphasize that this is a very underrated blade. It's similar to the Yasaka Sweden Extra, but with a noticeably bigger sweet spot (due to the harder outer surface). In comparison to the YEO 7 Power: -More dwell time. I could immediately feel that it was easier to lift underspin balls with this blade, especially on the backhand. -More control: Blocking is much easier due to the slower speed. Looping half-long balls is also much easier to keep on the table, since the blade is slower and has more dwell. -Not lacking in power. From mid and far distance, this blade does not lack power as long as your technique is good. Having faster rubbers that have higher throw angle will also help (I use boosted hurricane 3). -Sweet spot is around the size of a baseball. It’s slightly less than YEO 7 Power, but let's be honest: YEO 7 Power has a HUGE sweet spot that can rival that of the Butterfly ZJK super ZLC. So the sweet spot on this is a good size for an all wood blade. You can definitely tell when your contact is clean or not – helped me realize when I should slow down a bit on the loop to control the contact point. -Feeling is very noticeable – When you hit the sweet spot, it’s about the same amount of vibration as the YEO 7 Power. But the feeling itself isn’t really crisp in quality like the YEO 7 Power. It’s more like a low-frequency tuning fork (that doesn’t vibrate as long). Notes: -You might have to add a coat of lacquer to the edge of the blade since the soft center layer of wood might stick to your edge tape and peel off in little bits. -The value is PHENOMENAL!! I got it on sale for $29 from TT11. This is an unbeatable price. Will buy again for sure.

(I am using it with Mark V max on both sides using RPB.) The blade has an adequate amount of speed and is fine for me whether it be close to the table or from mid-distance, perhaps a bit more power is needed on the backhand for finishing points but that can be fixed by changing the rubber. The greatest quality of this blade is probably its control, I am able to consistently put the ball on the table wherever I want even with riskier shots. I personally enjoy the feel of the blade, it has a bit of flex but doesn't feel like it'll snap in half on hard smashes and allows me to play a solid blocking and short touch game as well. A unique(?) property of this blade is that it seems to stiffen up on harder hits but remains flexible on lighter strokes, I don't know what causes this or if it is a common attribute, but so far, I immensely enjoy this property. I would recommend this blade for most beginners and people at the intermediate level, its lack of speed may become a detriment at higher levels but as I am not there yet I cannot say for sure. All in all, the Yasaka Silverline Allwood is a fantastic choice for people ranging from beginner to high-intermediate level. Edit: After playing with this blade for a few months, I have learned that this blade does not lack any speed whatsoever. With the correct technique and power generation, a good shot can be played even 2 meters away from the table and backhand kills are not an issue either. Update: After spending over a year with this blade now and switching to Skyline 2 Neo(39 degrees 2.15 black) on my forehand and Hurricane 8-80(38 degrees 2.1 red) on my backhand I can say for sure that this blade works spectacularly with Chinese rubber, I can loop far from the table with both wings and have a killer third-ball attack. My only gripe with this blade is that it can be lacking in power during loop-to-loop rallies, there just isn't quite enough speed to really put pressure on my opponents.

His speed is more Off-, Stiff and hard hitting. Mainly because of its hardness, it is not so sensitive and not so controllable. Elegant looking wood, good grip

Az üt? fa nagyon szép megjelenés? és nagyon szépen megmunkált darab, én anatómiai nyéllel vásároltam meg. Nagyon magas szint? labda érzékeléssel rendelkezik, és bár a fa ALL-os besorolást kapott a Yasaka által de pl van olyan ALL+ os fa ami ett?l a fától lassabb pl a Donic Ovtcharov Dotec ALL+ amit az edz?társam használ. A fa fels? rétege kemény fa amíg a középs? ( mag ) réteg közepesen kemény fa, nem kell tartani attól hogy ez a fa lassú lesz hatékony támadó játékra mert egy gyors borítással meg lesz a sebesség is, én pl FH Yasaka Rakza PO 2.0 mm használok BH Yasaka Rigan 2.0 használok a kész üt? 174 gramm és bár nagyobb er?t kell persze belevinni az ütésekbe és pörgetésekbe mint ha pl ezeket a borításokat egy TB ZLC-re tettem volna fel, de viszont a nagyobb er?vel megütött labdák nem fognak világgá szállni, távolabbról is abszolút meg van benne az a gyorsaság ami kell a támadó játékhoz, az alacsony nyeséseket könny? felpörgetni, a blokkolás is hatékony, a szervafogadás is egyszer?.

Das Yasaka Silver All Wood ist ein ausgezeichnetes Holz für Spieler, die noch lernen müssen. Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand, hat glänzende Kontrolleigenschaften und genug Tempo, um auch offensiv spielen zu können. Auch die Verarbeitung könnte nicht besser sein. Topspins gelingen auch bei nicht perfekter Technik sehr gut. Das Yasaka All Wood gibt dem Spieler sehr viel Rückmeldung und Sicherheit. Services mit viel Spin lassen sich gut retournieren und Schupfbälle gelingen recht einfach. Ich kann dieses Holz sehr empfehlen und spiele es mit 2,0 mm Xiom Vega Europe DF auf der VH und BH.
