Yasaka Synergy
Blade description:
The Yasaka Synergy is an all-wood blade known for its unique 11-ply construction, which delivers high-speed performance and exceptional ball feedback. Despite its multi-layered composition, it maintains a lightweight profile, typically weighing around 79 grams. This specific weight distribution provides a balanced feel that distinguishes it from other professional blades with head-heavy tendencies.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Feedback: The 11-ply structure produces distinct vibrations, offering the player precise information about contact and ball placement. It provides a sensation similar to speed-glued blades, which enhances the feel during high-spin exchanges.
- Speed and Performance: The blade is categorized as very fast, making it well-suited for aggressive flicks and offensive play. Its performance characteristics are noted to be highly effective when paired with modern, medium-thickness rubbers, providing a high level of spin and speed.
- Suitability: Due to its speed and high-response nature, it is recommended for experienced players who can manage the sensitivity of a fast, light blade. It remains a reliable, classic option that continues to be relevant for competitive table tennis.

While investing in Bitcoin, exercise caution. If your Bitcoin is stolen, it can be a very frustrating experience. Instead of becoming frustrated, it is important to act quickly to increase your chances of recovering your funds.
Unfortunately, many victims do not recover their money because it is very difficult to track down the perpetrators. The thief may be located in another country or using fake identities. However, in some cases, it is easier to trace the person who stole your Bitcoin. Tracing Bitcoin is not difficult for Bitcoin forensics specialists.

I have been using this blade since 1997 and have tried many other blades. I started with Banda All, Applegren All, Persson Powerplay, then Yasaka Synergy. I recently tried Extra 3D, Ma Lin Carbon, Boll ZLF, and Mizutani ZLC, Primorac Off, and Boll Off.
The Yasaka Synergy works very well with Tenergy FX, Evolution FXS, and for top players (not me), Dignics 80. This wood is lightweight (79 grams) like the Chila Off and precise like the Mizutani. The vibration of the 11 plies gives you a wonderful return of ball information. It is similar to the ZLF Boll but much better balanced. Butterfly wood tends to have a gravity center too rearward of the head.
Be careful if you play with a rubber thickness greater than 2.0 mm unless you are rated above 1700. T64FX and 05FX 1.9 mm give me fantastic spin and a speed glue sensation, which is difficult to find when you have been playing with old balls and a rapid clean. For 80 euros, Yasaka gives you a blade that is better than a 200-euro blade from Butterfly. It’s a must-have.

Good quality. It is an elderly blade, but it still sells and is fun to play with. I used to see Ulf “Tickan” Carlsson play with it when he coached in Halmstad, Sweden!
