MA LIN SOFT CARBON has the same outer veneer as the famous EXTRA blade. Its medium soft characteristics is appreciated by players who want increased ball feel.
In SOFT CARBON Yasaka is using a special, very thin Carbon fibre to improve the speed and enlarge the Sweet-spot.
Together with the thicker wooden middle veneer it gives good power.
The combination of the “power part” (carbon+thicker middle veneer) and the softer outer veneer makes Ma Lin SOFT CARBON the perfect choice for power players who need a good ball feel for best performance

■ Frequently Mentioned Points
- Soft hitting feel and excellent usability for all skill levels

- Rotation-focused with good ball retention and accuracy
- Excellent compatibility with high-performance rubbers like Tenergy
- Not suitable for speed-focused players; weight selection is crucial
■ Representative Voices
▲ PositiveEven after 15+ years since release, the hitting feel remains remarkably comfortable. Despite trying various rackets, players consistently return to this model. It maximizes modern high-performance rubber potential and provides outstanding stability during intense rallies and against unusual surfaces.
▽ CriticalNot ideal for speed-oriented players, as light shots tend to float. The thick grip may make backhand shots difficult for players who rely heavily on backhand play.
