Yasaka Myth Carbon - Chinese Penhold

Yasaka Myth Carbon Penhold is made for players who want carbon power without giving up the softer touch and feedback of a more natural wood feel.

Its 5+2-ply construction uses two layers of CFNW, Carbon Fleece Non-Woven, placed closer to the core. This inner carbon layout gives the blade a smoother contact than many outer carbon blades while still adding extra speed when you swing with more commitment.

The result is a penhold blade with good balance between speed, control, and spin stability. Softer shots keep a comfortable feel for touch play and controlled opening loops. When you accelerate, the carbon layers help the blade produce more speed and a stronger attacking ball.

QUICK TAKE:
Choose Yasaka Myth Carbon Penhold if you want an inner carbon penhold blade that adds speed while keeping a controlled, comfortable feel.

Best For:
Works well for loop-based attackers, allround offensive players, and penhold players who want a blade that supports both controlled spin and sharper finishing shots.

Playing Style:
Allround offense, controlled looping, close-to-table attack, third-ball attack, spin-based pressure.

Blade Feel:
Medium feedback, moderate flex, smooth energy transfer, and controlled carbon power.

Rubber Pairing Advice:
Pair Myth Carbon Penhold with spin-focused rubbers like Yasaka Rakza Z for more grip and dwell time. For a slightly faster and more direct setup, pair it with Yasaka Rakza X or another medium-hard offensive rubber.

Who Should Avoid It:
Players who want the hardest, fastest carbon blade possible may prefer a stiffer outer carbon blade. Players who want maximum touch and vibration from an allwood blade may prefer a classic 5-ply or 7-ply wood blade.
