Review of DHS Power-G PG7What blackdog said above is very true.
I too own 2 of these blades both in flared. The first one was absolutely perfect, its exactly what these ratings describe it to be, it was the right thickness, right weight, right everything.
However I dented my first one on a table and ordered another one, expecting it to be just as perfect. I was wrong... It was much more lighter, much more thinner, much more slower and overall, it just felt much more cheaper and the build quality was not up to scratch. The top ply of wood was not smooth at all, it had small splinters/fibers that were poking out. (My worst nightmare!!!)
So quality control is a big issue for this blade. Some may get the perfect one while others get the inconsistent ones. But for the price, you get what you pay for.

Review of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra OffensiveWas a bit disappointed with the quality of this blade. The wood grain looks like its going in 2 different directions!
Besides that, the handle is very nice.
Playing wise, I put on 2 Joola Mambo H for forehand and backhand. This rubber is a fairly slow rubber so it will influence my assessment of this blade.
This has a good solid feeling to it but it also possesses the flexibility and light-weight that a good looping blade has.
5 plies, 2 of them being hard outer plies of walnut have given this blade its attributes.
Speed-wise, I would rate the blade as being offensive, maybe slightly on the lower end of Off. Out of a scale of 10, I have rated it as 8.7 so its got more than enough power for most players. While the blade is moderately fast, the control factor is still noticeably present.
I have been able to chop quite well with this setup because Mambo H is quite a slow rubber, probably equivalent to Sriver. The blade itself is slightly flexible which also helps, but I would not recommend this blade for a defensive game.
The Extra Offensive would work well with all rubbers- whether it is soft, medium or hard like Chinese rubbers.
If you're looking for a good quality, not-so-pricey and offensive blade, I would recommend the Extra Offensive.
