Customer review for Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive - Chinese Penhold

External Review for Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive on September 19, 2008

This is also know as the YEO. For many years Ma Lin had been using this blade with a different blade. This is the older brother of the class Yasaka Extra. What's different is the outer ply, it has been replaced with a harder type of wood, making it stiffer and harder, and of course, more powerful.

I have truly found my holy grail with this blade, its speed and control is nothing special, but the sound and feel that it makes is very unique. It makes a high pitch pong sound whenever the ball strikes, and its vibration gives it a very good feel. I can't describe it, so you have to experience it to know what i am talking about. And for $43USD, you have nothing to lose in trying one.

I play Chinese penhold with this blade, and one of the best feature of Yasaka's penhold blade is the thin handle (top to bottom) at the gripping point, it is much more comfortable than any other brand as they are more bulky.
