External Review for Yasaka Balsa Wood on December 5, 2014

Good blade for anti spin and short pips. Ultra light blade(70g) and slower then balsa plus. Good for hitting and blocking allround game close the table

nice blade without particular merits except the light weight; no particular drawbacks, but weaker for the middle/long game. no no for beginners.

the blade is hard enough for the speedy short game, in case with proper training. giving it two donic f2 or f3, it makes an excellent on-table driver/sweeper/smasher. light weight makes it a machine gun in the short game, but only with proper training or you aint kill the point.

not a good blocker in the power game.

This blade is slower than Yasaka Gatien extra 3d (in the catalogue said that is faster). I think that is very good blade all+, and very light. But it isnÂ´t a speed blade.

Stiff and hard for an all-wood blade. Good for hitting and blocking, horrible for spinning the ball, especially loops. Too light to be an excellent hitter blade. Lack of vibration and high speed make it a poor choice for beginners. Anatomic handle is very comfortable and blade has nice construction.
