Rubber and G5 combination is crucial to making this a weapon. Speed of racket setup is dependant on your swing. No problems away from table. I used TG2 40degree boosted and struggled to keep Ball on table in close up rallies. Short touch game was superb due to rubber. Much more consistent using Yeo7 and TG2 combo for close to mid play. The trajectory is rather flat. Had to resort to TG3 40degree for more confidence. This is a fast all wood blade. Rakza 7 soft bh struggled to clear net. switched to H3 and still not confident yet. Will update soon

Reviews of Yasaka Goiabao 5 (22)
My ST handle weighs 83g and is 6.0mm thick. Handle is hollow, but it's surprisingly not head-heavy. This blade was designed for the China market, so it is made to be used with Hurricane 3 on FH. If you use a different rubber, it will have less dwell time. Soft rubbers (42deg ESN) can add more dwell also. Speed is solid OFF and very linear. Due to the speed, it's a little hard to make topspin; best to use H3 with Chinese technique. Control is great on all shots. Overall, this blade is amazing for the price and should be much more popular!
A review from Cpen user :
Used to have a JTTAA YEO Cpen. after learning the basic strokes, always thought that YEO is a bit too flimsy for the 40+ plastic ball.
Goiabao 5, compared to YEO is a bit stiffer and faster, which make playing from medium distance easier while still maintaining the control and feeling to play 3rd ball/close to table thanks to the all-wood plies. The only downside is it is a bit more bouncy while serving/playing short, but the difference is negligible.
I think of it as a direct upgrade from YEO, kind of similar to STIGA Rosewood 5, to play more comfortably in the 40+ era. If you like the feeling of a 5-ply wooden blade, this blade can never go wrong.

I switched to pip rubber on my back, tried several varieties and Spinlord Gipfelsturm became my favorite gum. But it didn't work well with my favorite Timo Boll Alc. I had a Goiabao bat for a long time but I didnt use it because of its speed. I tried Gipfelstrurm on it and it got really good. The rubber (mxs, r7) was fast on my first hand so I tried the Rakza 7 soft and I'm very happy with this bat!
