Customer review for Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon

Review by nicknomo (Verified Customer) for Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon on February 10, 2010

Water based glue had damaged my old blade, an LKT willpower carbon arylate. I was looking for something with a nice layer of carbon for a good sweet spot, with a soft outer layer for more dwell time (like the LKT willpower). I thought this was going to be a nice upgrade, but in reality it felt more like my Gatien extra instead of my LKT willpower.

The carbon layers in this blade are very thin, an they don't really do their job. There is noticeable vibration, and you don't get much of an extended sweet spot.

I also did not really like the flared handle very much. Compared to the other blades I've owned, there isn't that much of a flare on this blade. I found my hand slipping a bit out of place because of this.

Its definitely not a bad product, it still plays well, but its certainly not what I expected.
