Yasaka Extra 3D Soft Carbon

Blade Review

This blade features a straight handle with a pleasant design and feel. It has a relatively hard composition, but a slight vibration provides an ideal balance for both beginners and experienced players.

Despite its hardness, the blade offers excellent power, comparable to OFF blades. This enables powerful smashes and loops. Additionally, its superb control allows for precise chopping.

The blade is recommended for various playing styles, with the exception of anti-spin players. However, it may require slightly larger swings when topspinning backspin compared to OFF+ blades.

Overall, this blade earns a remarkable rating of 9.4/10, making it a highly recommended choice for players seeking a versatile and high-performance option.

I transitioned from a stiff composite blade to this one using Tenergy 05 and 25 rubbers. It provides a balanced combination of power with exceptional control at mid to close-to-the-table distances. I intend to acquire another blade with a flared handle, which should serve my needs for an extended period.
