This blade is dedicated to Ma Long for his powerful play. Ma Long Carbon has better control values than DHS Ma Long 5, which has more agressive features.

So, it's good, but the carbon sticks out a bit from the grip, so I'd recommend understanding that before you buy.
I was torn between tacky rubber and tension rubber, but
you should definitely go with tension.
For the backhand, if you want stability, Tenergy - honestly it's stable even without the FX.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Since a racket bearing the name of the king, Ma Long, came out, I gave it a try right away.
The first thing I noticed was the flight and feel, which don't feel like an inner-carbon racket at all.
When people talk about inner-carbon rackets, Butterfly's Innerforce series is famous, and that racket holds the ball well and is easy to control.
But this Ma Long Carbon is completely different - the flight is on par with an outer-carbon racket, and the feel is hard too.
It's fast and flies in a straight line, driving right into the opponent's court.
I think an advanced player could put spin on shots with a racket like this and really send it flying, but as a beginner-to-intermediate player like myself, the ball left the racket too fast and turned into flat, spinless shots.
My practice partner also told me the ball felt light.
Also, the grip is very thin and the blade is a size larger than the standard 150×157, so the balance point is toward the tip and it feels heavy.I'd recommend a spin-oriented tension rubber that grips the ball easily and helps it fly.
In summary, the Ma Long Carbon is very close to an outer-carbon racket even though it's an inner-carbon one, so I'd recommend it to advanced players with power, or people currently using an inner-carbon racket who want more distance.

This is a racket that once ruled the world. It's the strongest racket, and it doesn't discriminate against the user. The Ma Long name isn't just for show! It's the strongest in the world.

The ball comes off fast and it's easy to do loop drives, plus the grip is on the thinner side so your wrist isn't locked in place, letting you pull off all kinds of techniques. I think the control is good too.

It has carbon in it and really flies, so it's not a racket for beginners. At minimum, someone with table tennis experience around high school level would be able to bring out its characteristics well. I use it with Fastarc or Tenergy, but personally I think Hurricane suits it best.

Being a co-development model with Ma Long, it really has a lot of bounce and feels great for attacking. If Butterfly has the Zhang Jike series, then for Nittaku it's Ma Long. If you want more speed on your shots or want to attack with powerful topspin drives, this is the racket for you.

This racket has carbon in it, so when you hit the ball it goes straight forward fast and reaches the opponent's court quickly. The shots have real speed, which makes aggressive play even more possible. It's like the Butterfly equivalent of the Timo Boll ALC.
