Yasaka Myth Soft Carbon - Chinese Penhold

Yasaka Myth Soft Carbon Penhold is built for penhold players who want extra speed and stability without losing the comfortable feel of a classic Yasaka wood blade.

Based on the playing character of the Sweden Extra, Myth Soft Carbon adds two inner layers of soft carbon near the core. This gives the blade a larger sweet spot, better energy transfer, and more stability when you attack, while keeping a flexible touch for spin and placement.

The 5-ply wood structure gives good ball feedback on serves, short touch, opening loops, and controlled blocks. The inner carbon layers add help when you accelerate, making the blade a strong choice for players who want to move from a wood blade into a faster but still controlled offensive setup.

QUICK TAKE:
Choose Yasaka Myth Soft Carbon Penhold if you want a penhold blade with added carbon stability while keeping a softer, flexible offensive feel.

Best For:
Penhold players moving from all-wood control into a faster, more stable offensive carbon blade. Works especially well for loopers, allround attackers, and penhold players who use spin variation, high-arc topspins, and precise placement to build points.

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

Blade Feel:
Medium feedback, flexible touch, smooth contact, and controlled inner carbon power.

Rubber Pairing Advice:
Pair Myth Soft Carbon Penhold with Yasaka Rakza 7 for a balanced spin and control setup with a high-arc trajectory. For more grip and heavier topspin, Rakza Z is a strong option.

Who Should Avoid It:
Players who want a very stiff, fast carbon blade may prefer a harder outer carbon blade. Players who want pure all-wood touch with maximum vibration may prefer a traditional 5-ply blade.
