    Sweden EK CARBON has the "5 + 2 layers" construction including the outer veneers made by OAK wood. The OAK wood is hard and improves the blades stiffness and speed, which is suitable for the new plastic material balls. In addition, the OAK wood also offers an elegant look.
    (EK is the Swedish word for OAK).

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite its affordable price, this carbon racket delivers solid all-around performance suitable for beginners to intermediate players. While early ball release and weight are minor drawbacks, excellent feel and great value for money make it highly appealing.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Competitive carbon-level speed despite low price
    • Exceptional feedback and solid striking sensation
    • Early ball release makes spin difficult to apply
    • Relatively heavy at around 90g
    • Versatile all-rounder suitable for beginners to intermediates
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSwedish-made racket with excellent feel. The carbon and walnut construction gives strong rebound despite the thin blade, and this performance at this price is remarkably good.
    ▽ CriticalEarly ball release makes it difficult to apply spin. Also, being relatively heavy, it's not recommended for those preferring lighter rackets.

    • Prefrontal heterogeneity

      Prefrontal heterogeneity (Experience: ２〜３ years) Swedish wood

      Player reviews

      Compared to my main SWAT, it felt lighter. Well, that's something you can fix with weight tape…
      I expected it to be an outer-carbon blade, but the wood is thin, and it generated more spin than I expected. However, for topspin rallies at mid-distance or away from the table, it felt like it lacked power (though that might be my own lack of skill). So I think it's better suited for use close to mid-distance from the table.

    • VEGA series the best! !

      VEGA series the best! ! (Experience: Less than a year) Cheap, but a pretty good blade

      Player reviews

      First off, it has carbon but it's cheap. It has decent speed and a good feel too. Just because it's cheap doesn't
      mean the performance is bad — I'd recommend it as your 2nd or 3rd racket. Also, it's a bit heavy at 90g, so I wouldn't recommend it to people who like lighter blades.

      Player reviews

      It's impressive that Yasaka can offer a carbon blade this cheap. The bounce is decent and the control is good too — it doesn't fly too much, which is nice for small touch shots too! I'd recommend it for intermediate players!
