Customer review for Yasaka Sweden Classic

External Review for Yasaka Sweden Classic on November 14, 2013

One of the best allround blades available. Great for a wide range of players from beginners to experienced control/defensive players. Large ST grip. This blade can become offensive with tensors with fine touch. Makes a great pips/inverted combination for close to table play. Excellent build quality. Excellent for looping close/mid distance from table. Lacks some power away. A classic blade from Yasaka. Made in Sweden. Update. The ST version has a great fat feel that balances heavier rubber sheets like Tenergys. After sealing this blade twice and using a glue effect rubber I felt this blade has many gears for a lot of players. With T05 it produced great spin and good speed. Not blazing fast but fast enough to gain the point. With classic rubber it is slower and requires good stroke to produce power. Very good power to control ratio depending on rubber selection. Great blade for beginners and advanced players alike. Some say this blade is slow. It can be slow and it can be fast, that is where the rubber selection comes to bear. Some say this is a defensive blade. Perhaps with the correct rubber it can be. With OX pips out it played poorly due to the wood selection of the outer layer ply.
