Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon

Great blade.

Nice blade, balanced.

Top-quality blade for the price; good feel for a carbon blade.

Excelente raqueta calidad precio, ideal para iniciación.

Guess this blade is underrated. I have tested over 300 blades. The Ma Lin Carbon is a very good blade for me as an elder mid-class player. It is very controlled and spinny with Fastarc G-1, and for me, it is fast enough when necessary. It is also very forgiving and fits well for ALL- play. Give it a try.

Not a fan of the blade that I received. I found it was very hard to get good dwell time compared to other blades, no matter the type of rubber. However, I did find that it worked well with short pips or a hitting playstyle.

Paired with Flyatt Hard rubbers (2.0) and feels comfortable. You can loop, push, block, topspin close to mid-range. Serve returns are easy. May be a bit lacking in spin, but very fun to play. Blade weight is a total of 172g, but speed is enough. I consider buying another piece of this wood and pairing it with Fastarc G-1. I am even curious about trying it with Rasanter R47 and Omega V Pro (which I am using with the EC11 carbon blade and am satisfied).

Articolo di qualità

I’m 59 years old. Got prompt delivery from tt11. Previously using Gergely (tamca 5000) with Rakza 7 Soft FH and Andro Hexer Duro. Want little control and crispy blade as it was very fast for push and blocks, especially play against pimples. I played with YML Carbon and Rasanter 42 max FH and Xiom Omega X 2mm for the last 5 days. I prefer soft to medium soft rubbers. This ply has excellent control: larger sweet spots, crispy feel, slightly favourable vibrations. Good for flat kill loops. Good block and push close to net and long as well. I’m adjusting to Xiom Vega X as it’s a little hard and throw angle is larger as compare to Hexer Duro. Rasanter 42 is soft and good for loop, block, cut, and push. This is my 5 days experience. Please treat it as phase 1 review. Second phase after 1 or 2 months.

Хорошая доска за свои деньги, но не быстрая. Для тех, кому важен контроль, а не скорость.

The bat corresponds to the description, high-quality, moderately light (85–86 g) and moderately fast.

Основание соответствует описанию, качественное, умеренно легкое (85–86 гр.) и в меру быстрое.

I compared this blade with the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition. The Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon is slower, and it has more control. It is very good for flat smashes. Its price was good for 41 euros. It is very sad that it is getting more expensive.

This was my first custom made racket with Donic Barracuda (don’t remember the sponge thickness) on both sides. I came from a crappy Kinson premade bat. It was so much heavier but easy to get used to after a week or two.

I actually learned how to lift backspin on both FH and BH on this blade. It’s great for beginners, but I would recommend an Evolution MXP for FH instead of a Barracuda (you’ll see why when you play). But Barracuda on BH is great.

I also heard Sriver on both sides was recommended, but I’m not sure because I haven’t tried that. However, Sriver is a good transition into the “real” Tenergy and Dignics rubbers that I’m using now, so both combos are fine.

More about the blade: You HAVE to apply a protective tape around the blade edge because the side wood is quite fragile.

Zo’r, hamma uchun qulay raketka. Tezlik ham, kontrol ham yaxshi.

Very nice. Good to use to improve your game.

I have been playing with this new Yaska Ma Lin Carbon for two months now. The racket is excellent. Good feeling with good control.

Mine is 81 grams, and this is my second YMLC blade. This blade was specially selected for me because I prefer light blades with a neutral balance, and this blade meets my expectations.

Excellent

Very comfortable. You need to get used to the bounces and play more to get used to the base faster.

Great blade for the price, but a wee bit flexy and has a wooden feel to it.

Considering how much this blade costs, it is excellent. It is not stupidly fast like many carbon blades. The spin generated on FH loops is excellent (Tenergy 05fx). There is enough speed for drives and smashes too.

This is a very underrated blade and would even be suitable for beginners with a toned-down rubber.

I have tried Acoustic Carbons and Innerforces, and I fail to see what you are getting for that extra £100.

I am a decent amateur with 30 years of playing, and I have tried many blades.

Цена-качество на отличном уровне, но что-то последнее время Ясака не сильно смотрит за своим продуктом, так как там есть незашкуренные края, ручка тоже не обработана — можно загнать занозу.

The Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon is a very interesting blade. It’s very nice to play with when you are playing well, but it requires a lot of getting used to—more so than other composites, in my opinion.

Like many inner carbon blades, it has a woody feeling. However, you need very good touch, as failing to tighten your grip at the right timing will result in the blade flexing too much (the ball goes long), and tightening too early will result in no flex at all (net ball).

In terms of performance, the blade is great value for money and it has a high skill ceiling, but I’ll be going back to ALC, which is less exciting but easier to play with.

I pared it with Rasante 47 FH and 42 on BH. I got good control. It was easy to spin, block, and chop with stability. I have used this blade for 6 months. It’s a great blade, but the grip is a bit too thin for me.

This is the third time buying from TT11. Really really having good service from you guys… Using Ma Lin Carbon is really good. Not too fast. We could learn to do the right movement using this blade.

It is a little bit heavy for handling, but good for forehand smashing.

I didn’t find anything “wrong” with this blade, but it didn’t do, for me anyway, anything special that had a “wow!” effect. I was looking to replace the spendy Viscaria and hoped this would be it; unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out. It’s kinda stiff feeling no matter what the shot, a bit too fast on short game, and not a lot of dwell for looping. Kinda felt like a flat board with a handle on it. I re-ordered a new Nittaku S-CZ, and am quite stunned by its qualities—lots of gears, really soft in short/serves/returns, but power kicks in on harder shots + significantly more control than the Viscaria. Wowed by the S-CZ!

A senior player in my club suggested this blade as he uses it, and it is a very good blade for fast play (not super fast) and good control. The blade is slightly heavy, but very easy to use and has a good feel. I thoroughly recommend it.

This blade has good control. Also, it lands the ball wherever you wish. I am using this one with DHS Hurricane neo 3 FH and Tibhar evolution MX P BH. AWESOME. BUT you have to give little power with your stroke. I wish to have good control so I bought this. It’s worthy.

Excellent blade for the price. Cheapest carbon in the market, as far as I know.

This is a good carbon blade. Not too fast and not too slow, but very good for the price. I found it better controlled than Fang Bo Carbon. As usual, great service from table tennis11.

Le MLC est un bois qui offre beaucoup de contrôle dans le petit jeu, au service ainsi qu'à la table. Il est exceptionnel en bloc et en topspin. Il permet aussi d’avoir beaucoup de précision en top sur top à mi-distance. Il reste très ferme en top frappé et on ne ressent aucune vibration. Pourtant, on ne sent pas la présence du carbon. On a l’impression de jouer avec un “tout bois”. Associé au Stiga Mantra S, le touché de balle est au top! Les démarrages se font sans soucis aussi bien en CD qu’en RV. Je l’adopte définitivement.

I’m using a Cpen ML Carbon with short pips and inverted in the BH. This blade is very thin and light, making it quick and easy to switch from FH to BH. However, it’s not so fast; you must make a full swing to play to its full potential. Control is excellent; it’s very controllable on short play and also in blocks. The large sweet spot provides an excellent feeling on topspins. This blade is made of Limba outer ply, followed by Ayous, soft carbon, and Ayous core. Such a construction requires a full swing because Limba and Ayous “hold” the ball (longer dwell). I would say ML Carbon is an allround-offensive blade for the player with a controlled attacking style, very much like Donic Waldner Senso Carbon.

This blade has a soft touch and a good feeling of the ball. It’s a little bit flexible, but very good with medium hard rubbers. I didn’t like my short pip Rakza PO in forehand. For short pips, the best blade still is the Clipper CR.

Good

Большое пятно отскока. Невысокая цена за качественную вещь.

Lots of flex due to the 5.8 thickness. Decent control, enough speed. It outperforms lots of expensive blades. Thanks for the service.

Excellent product with a very good price. I recommend it.

Все понравилось. За исключением ручки. FL — тонковата для меня. Нужно было заказывать AN.

I am looking later when I finish.

Definitely a fast blade with the 2 layers of carbon. Control is excellent. It doesn’t have the ball feeling compared to my 25-year-old Stiga Legend. There’s a bit of vibration when I hit the ball hard. I don’t like that.

Vajab pisut harjumist, kuna enne oli kasutusel Cornilleau aero allround alus. Vajab lihtsalt treeningut ja praktikat, kontroll on hea.

I’m really happy with this racket.

Paired with black Rakza 9 on FH and red Rakza 7 soft on BH, it is a good blade. It is fast enough, and its control is good because of its large sweet spot.

For balance, you may need to consider the weight of the rubber you choose due to the thin and light nature of the blade.

Overall, it is a good blade for you to experience some carbon feels paired with tensor rubbers.

I keep looking for some saving items

Excellent

If you have used Yasaka Ma Lin EO and are looking for a bit more power, this is the right bat for you. In comparison: more power, same control. However, the quality seems to be not as good as YEO; finishing seems to be lacking. The racket is light and well balanced. Would recommend medium-hard or medium-soft rubbers depending on if you are looking for power or control.

So I very much like this blade because it has carbon and is cheaper than another one.

Has a little vibration and loud sound, but overall an excellent product.

Great quality—a bit too fast for my game, though.

Good, but has a little bit of vibration when the ball hits the rubber.

I have just received two Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon blades with Rakza X on both sides. As usual, wonderfully packed products and beautifully finished products by TT11. You haven’t stopped surprising me with your professionalism. In fact, I would like to convey the compliment of a professional TT coach in Delhi who called your website the Brahmastra in acquiring TT products, i.e., the final say in TT products.

This blade is very good, but when I compare it to my Donic Black Devil, it’s a little slow. I am still trying to come to terms with TT11 not shipping Donic products to India. Soon you may come out with a new policy of not shipping a few other company products, like Butterfly or Nittaku or Yasaka, to India. Your policy decisions are yours, of course, but it has certainly put off many of my friends from ordering on your website. Good luck for the future; may some good sense prevail on you.

Nice price.

Light, allows for good control, and still enables me to generate reasonable power.

Good control with soft attack offense stroke. Lightweight to maneuver.

Bois magnifique qui me plaît beaucoup!

I can’t think of another blade.

I believe I am the only one who dislikes this blade. It is excessively light and thin, and the grip is unsatisfactory. Moreover, significant strength is required to prevent it from vibrating.

This blade is excellent, offering both exceptional speed and remarkable control. I’ve paired it with Donic Coppa on the forehand, resulting in highly spinny topspins. However, the speed is slightly reduced due to using only a single layer of glue on the blade. Notably, I acquired this blade at a very reasonable price of 27 euros (approximately $30), making it an excellent value.

Elasticity and control are excellent.

Very good blade with good control. It allows for easy topspin shots, unlike my previous blade. DHS POWER.G2 is very fast. I use DHS Hurricane 2 on the forehand and DHS Skyline 2 on the backhand. It’s a very good combination.

It is normal for me because it doesn’t feel much of the carbon. It still has more wood feeling.

Nice blade for all-round play. Loops are good. I use JOOLA Express II on the backhand and Coppa on the forehand. Overall, it is good for players transforming from intermediate play to serious play.

Fast, thin, and reliable, this blade is great for smashing. It’s also light and allows you to really feel the ball.

This is a very good blade. It has good control, good speed, and is very manageable. Additionally, it is very cheap for its kind. I got it for only $59.

Nice and light. Excellent value for money. A slight hollow sound and vibration with the standard Yasaka New Era’s, but I found it very nice when I replaced the forehand side with a 2.0mm Mark V. I have actually ordered another one for experimenting, because for the money, you can’t go wrong. More blades mean more rubbers, MMM Rubbers :).

Good speed with great control and feeling.

This blade offers a great balance of affordability and quality. Despite featuring two carbon layers, it does require significant effort to generate reasonable loop speed. The hollow sensation and vibration contribute to enhanced control, but they can diminish the feel of the ball.

This blade is not well-suited for use with thick rubbers. In fact, it is quite particular about the rubbers used. Tensor rubbers may be more suitable as they provide better feel on the blade.

It’s important to note that the power of this blade is not linear when paired with soft or thick rubbers. Touch shots may become too fast due to the rubber’s properties, while looping and smashing may feel sluggish as the blade becomes softer when compressed through the rubber.

Finding suitable rubbers for this blade is crucial to optimize its performance. Some adjustments to the blade may also be necessary to achieve the desired feel and playability.
