External Review for Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 Power on November 25, 2016

Mine is 85.2g anatomic. Thickness measured to be 5.5mm. Factory sealed with wings somewhat sanded. Overall quality is pretty good and it's made in Sweden. I don't like the big emblem on both side of the grip as I could feel it when I play. The anatomic grip shape is nice & oval, except a little bit small for me so I wrapped it with grip tape and it's now very ideal.. There is a hard & dark walnut veneer on the outside, followed by a medium hardness veneer, then a thin layer of carbon above the core. YEO7 is similar to Innerforce T5000 in design but with harder surface but thinner thickness (5.5 vs 5.7mm).
**Update**Due to the thinness, the blade is somewhat flexible and dwelly. You will get more dwell if you've chosen a softer rubber which I recommend medium soft rubbers. I put on a Razka 7(med hard) on the BH and an old layer of Baraccuda(medium) on FH. It's a nice combo, although heavy but with the grip tape the setup is very balanced. Both rubber feel very grippy and produce enormous amt of spin and very easy to loop. When looping side spin, it feels like I can grap the ball and throw it to wherever I aim, it produces a nice arc. The YEO7 feels like a wooden blade (due to it's "innerforce" design), solid impact feel, but dwelly due to the flexible thin structure. You get a precise feel of the ball and would know which part of the blade touched the ball. As you play more and more, you will be trained to hit the sweetspot more accurately due to more feel. YEO7 has great short game push & touch and flick shots due to more feel. it's definitely growing on me. It's on the slow end of OFF+ and the control is excellent. This setup is my best setup for competition so far. For the price I paid-$33 on sale, it's a super deal! Here is my rating: speed=9.1; control=9.5; feel=solid, dwelly & precise; stiffness=6; hardness=7; Sweetspot=big; Spin=9.3; Short Game & Mid Game=Excnt; Flicks=Easy; Push=very good; Balance=very good; Consistency=9.5; Overall=9.5
