Xiom Hugo Calderano SAL
Blade description:
This blade is a composite model featuring a 5+2 construction. It utilizes an arylate-based carbon fiber layer that differs from standard blue ALC, providing a distinct composition that emphasizes tactile feedback and a flexible feel during play. Weighing approximately 84 grams, it offers a manageable weight distribution that facilitates ease of handling.
Playing Characteristics
- Performance: Categorized as an OFF- blade, it focuses on high control and consistency rather than pure, top-end speed. It is particularly well-suited for intermediate players who prioritize accuracy and shot placement over raw power.
- Feel and Flex: The blade is noted for being quite flexible, which aids in generating significant spin on topspin shots. Users report a refined ball feel that is beneficial for short-game control, touch shots, and receiving services.
- Compatibility: Due to its controlled nature and flexible composition, it pairs effectively with both medium-hard and hard, modern tensor rubbers. It provides a stable platform for players looking to reduce unforced errors while still maintaining the ability to execute an aggressive, attacking game.

Nice blade. I use it with two Joola Aggressors.

The Yasaka Extra blade is a great blade for intermediate to advanced players. It offers a good balance of speed, control, and feel. The blade is made of 5 plies of wood, with a limba outer ply, which gives it a crisp and responsive feel.
The blade is also relatively light, which makes it easy to maneuver. Overall, the Yasaka Extra is a great all-around blade that is suitable for a variety of playing styles. It is a good choice for players who are looking for a blade that offers good speed and control without being too heavy.

Cuchilla con mucho control ideal para jugadores que les gusta dominar en los partidos. También puedes hacer girar muchísimo la bola (top spin) increíble; no es tan veloz como otras pero creo que está bien para jugadores de niveles intermedios o en desarrollo.
