Yasaka Ebony Carbon

I am very impressed with the blade. Speed and fast!

Muy buen equipo

Ebony outer layers plus two thin carbon layers make for incredible speed. I used DHS gold arc 8 47.5 as FH, and Nittaku P1 as BH.

It’s been months using Yasaka Ebony Carbon. I used Yasaka Rakza X 2.0 mm on my forehand and Yasaka Trick Anti Max on my backhand. For an intermediate level skills player, this combination is a winner. The blade coupled with said TT rubbers has power, speed, and control.

This blade is just beautiful to look at; it is almost sad to put rubbers on such a stunning surface.

The Ebony Carbon is a beast for power and speed, but it had a lot more control than I thought it would have. (The level of control may be enhanced by the Rakza 7 Soft I put on both sides.)

More advanced players looking for devastating power will love this blade. It is still a bit above my control level, as I am still a beginner.

I expect to see a lot of top-level players using this in the future.

This is an excellent 9-ply blade (2 ebony wood + 2 carbon + 5 unknown wood layers), with the carbon layer being close to the center. It’s kind of head-heavy (H3 neo FH & MX-P BH) and needs some time to get used to if you are coming from a balanced blade (coming from YEO — H3 neo boosted on both sides). While YEO is a great overall blade (power + control), ebony excels in power, compromising the control a little bit (especially in short games). However, unlike outer carbon layer blades (like Visc), the control is “preferably better” (at least for me) in the inner carbon layer blades. Once you get used to the feel of the blade, it’s an AWESOME blade, really powerful, with good control too. A tip that helped me improve the feel/control of the blade is to hold/grip the blade high up the handle, holding the head itself while playing close to the table tremendously improves the control of the blade. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great offensive blade with good control.

Very good control, attack, and modern defense.

Ok

What a lovely sound this blade has… Extremely fast and has very good grip. Happy that I bought this blade.

Excellent paddle. Thanks.

Good offensive.

Speed and power… The fastest blade from Yasaka. Great for drive and counter topspin play.

Stiff and consistent, this blade is a speed machine suitable for short pips and medium soft rubber. It is well-built and of good quality.

Переход на это основание после чистого дерева не составит долгого привыкания, т. к. это быстро и [сохраняет] ощущение дерева. Я тестировал с Tibhar MX-P 50° с обеих сторон: FH отлично, BH рекомендую помягче. Основание отличное по качеству, характеристикам и цене. Попробуйте и оцените. Респект ТТ11.

Blade Review

Date: 17-09-2020

Due to the current state of the world, I was unable to test this blade earlier.

I use an anatomic handle, which is lovely for my backhand (BH) banana flicks. I paired it with a RED MX P on the BH side and a BLACK TIBHAR AURUS PRIME on the FH side. Blocks are hard to control against high-quality topspin, but the blade shines when using short stroke movements. The speed baffles the opponent. I will write more after a week or so. Interesting blade…

Really love it; the handle is amazing too!

I had it assembled by Tabletennis11 with Rakza X on FH and Rakza X Soft on BH. I haven’t had much time to test, but I will.

The blade is too fast for my style of play.

Good control and fast.

Extra speed racket. At the level of much more expensive woods. Very comfortable in the hand. Needs good technique and playing with feeling.

Lightweight, as the title says, fast powerful blade for pure offensive players. One of the best blades in this price range. The only downside is the FL handle tends to be very slippery, so a rubber grip is needed for players with dry hands.

Decent blade, low throw, hard feeling. Very heavy. Needs good technique to use effectively.

Light, fast, and controllable. Excellent price point for a blade that can be compared with $300 blades from Butterfly.

Очень быстрое основание, достаточно тяжёлое. Судя по таблице, самое быстрое у Ясаки. Сравнивал с Сильвер карбоном, которое чуть медленнее, но контрольнее. Подойдёт атакующим и очень опытным игрокам.
