Reviews of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive - Chinese Penhold (76)
Been playing with this blade for quite some time now and is a great blade, with big sweetspot, very forgiven, well made, control is insane not the fastest blade but it is not slow either if pushed can be fast
I'm paired it with Yasaka Rakza 7 soft. On both sides and is a very, very good combo I love it.
Spin is easy to do. Looping too blocks really nice. For the money it has to be the best bung for the buck you get a hell of a blade for little money.
All around excellent blade. Maybe not quite as fast as a VIS, on the lower range of OFF blades. But it also gives you a much flexier and better feel. When you wind up your stroke, it still gives you all the speed you need, and you dont really feel lack of power. Produces a high pitch smack when you hit hard.
I think its a very spinny blade, probably good for spin-oriented offensive players. Dwell time feels quite long compared to carbon blades. Overall very balanced blade and feels very nice in hand.
I play Ch.Pen, I used this blade for about 10months. In comparison to the Hurricane Hao 1. This blade for me was way more consistent and easier to use. Everything felt better. Loop, power, control, block. All became much more consistent as soon as I switched. This blade is fast if you have a strong stroke with good technique. There is a reason Ma Lin was able to dominate with this bad boy. But the speed and power on this has a limit. Long rallies from a few feet back takes the wind out of you. This blade is not for long rallies. It can assist you to deliver finishing strokes and consistent short play. But dont rely on it for long rallies. My game play using this blade was playing a short game to my advantage and awaiting the opponent to push a little too long or high for me to either execute a strong loop, loop kill or flick to control rally. I was easily able to FH flick and RPB flick using this. Good vibrations, speed, control and consistency. My set up when this was my game racket using this was FH:TG2 blue sponge, BH: Tin arc 3. I currently have 802-40 mystery3 short pips on FH with this and it is quite easy to use.
The hard outer layer let's me hold the ball when looping letting me get more spin, while also the hard outer layer lets me block good. While fast not uncontrollable. For the price, can't think of a better blade.
