Yasaka Alnade

This is a good blade. I currently have H3 Commercial rubbers on both sides, but I plan to switch to Rakza 7 or Tenergy on the backhand in the future.

The blade provides a decent amount of dwell time on the ball because the PE carbon is next to the core. This gives it good feeling and control. However, when you hit hard, it is also fast.

For me, this blade is better than Viscaria and other arylate blades because it is not too fast for the intermediate level. Additionally, it has a longer dwell time than the Alnade Inner.

Overall, this is a pretty good blade for the value.

Fast Blade. Paired with FH Rakza 7 and BH Rakza 7 soft, the forehand is very powerful. It is very good for smashing and easy to spin with amazing spin.

With a Rakza 7 soft, the BH is easier to control. However, if you use a medium rubber, I think it will be more suitable for adding kick and spin.

It is very nice to play near the table and provides enough control when playing from further back.

The blade is ALC but with slightly higher speed than ALC, maybe close to ZLC.

I think Alnade is one of my favorite blades right now.

- Low control, making it difficult to handle the ball. — Tough, resulting in a hard feel when hitting the ball. — Bad short play, making it difficult to control the ball at close range. — Heavy weight of 92g, which can be tiring to use over extended periods.

I love this blade. It has a medium-hard and flexible construction, making it best paired with medium-hard rubber.

This combination provides awesome spin and control, arguably better than Butterfly blades priced under 200 dollars.

Review text:

Using Viscaria before bought this blade. Hoped to have the same feeling like Viscaria but it’s not (a bit like a Gergely)…

More stiff and hard. Using H3 Prov BS 40d on FHs not fit. Lacked control speed, and speed (not bit more flexible) when looped the ball with my hurricane. But its very well with ESN/Japan rubber. I paired it with Xiom Omega 4 Pro on my FH and Vega Omega 4 Euro in my BH. It worked very well.

The blade itself is of very high made-in-Japan quality. Compared to Viscaria, Alnade is a stiffer blade. The speed of the blade is very adequate for any type of play while maintaining perfect control. With Alnade, one is able to put a huge amount of spin and control the length of serve. It can be a real weapon in the right hands.

This blade provides an amazing playing experience. It is versatile, allowing players to execute a wide range of shots. Serves are particularly effective, and the blade generates ample spin. The ability to send the ball down the line with precision is exceptional.

The blade has been a resounding success in Japan and is now poised to conquer the rest of the world. While it may come at a premium price, the investment is well worth it for players seeking an exceptional blade.

Whether you choose to “buy and try” or “try and buy,” you will not be disappointed with this blade’s performance.

The Yasaka Alnade table tennis blade is an advanced product of Japanese and Swedish technical expertise. Featuring ultra-fast PA CARBON material, this blade delivers exceptional speed while maintaining a relatively low weight.

Its construction consists of 5 wooden veneers complemented by 2 layers of PA CARBON. Notably, LIANG Jingkun utilized the Yasaka Alnade to achieve victory at the Austrian Open.

A perfect blend of control, speed, and spin, this blade has instantly improved my game. Close to the table to mid-distance attacking and countering is amazing. It’s more forgiving than a Viscaria or Xiom Strad. You can accurately place both wing topspins or make blocks accurately and consistently. Recommended for intermediate to advanced players.
