The blade has a strange feel. It’s not bouncy, and I feel a lot of vibrations. I don’t feel the crispness, although I think it has very good control. I don’t feel the carbon, except when I hit very hard.
I’m more comfortable with the Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (YEO) which has a nice crisp feeling and polite vibration.
However, the Yasaka Ma Lin Max Carbon (YMLMC) has more control, more power, and is more consistent when blocking and counter hitting.
In conclusion, the YEO is better for beginner to intermediate players, while the YMLMC is a more deadly weapon for advanced players.
I ordered a very light blade measured at 83.3g, but the thickness was measured @ only 6.0mm instead of 6.3mm. Innerforce design with 3 wood plies on top of carbon+core. The 3rd wood ply is thick, placing the carbon buried deep under the surface. As a result, the carbon can only be activated on harder strokes. Therefore, MLMC feels like a medium soft 7-ply limba wood blade on lighter strokes, but it can get pretty fast & hard feeling when the carbon is aroused.
I got used to the excellent control right away. It’s easy to play slow, and it will also provide decent speed when needed. Speed is progressive; it has a very wide range of gears. You can hear the carbon as you hit hard, and the ball feel turn hard at the same time.
Very precise; not bouncy; has a soft feel on lighter strokes & can grab the ball well; medium hardness on medium strokes and fast and hard on hard smashes The spin & loops produced are enormous. This is what I expected the DHS 301 to be, but it isn’t. Comparing these 2 blades, they have about the same amount of control, but the Max Carbon has higher speed when hit hard; more spin; a bigger handle; I like the Max Carbon much better and did not like 301 at all. Good quality at very low price. I use Vega Pro on FH and Razka 7 on BH.
Speed=9.0; Control=9.5; Spin=9.6; Feel=vary; Flick=easy+; Flex=6.5; Hardness=5; Balance=good; ST handle=large/nice; Dwell=good; Smash, flat hit & Drive=great; Throw=med+; Serve=great; Sweetspot=large; touch shot=great; Sound=wood popping sound, occasional glassy; Overall=9.3.
The blade has very fast speed, very good control, and is powerful. I can generate topspin easily, even though this blade feels hard.
I stick DHS NEO H3P D39 Max on my forehand. Even though this rubber feels hard, it is still okay for me. This blade is one of my favorite blades.
