    Ma Lin EXTRA OFFENSIVE is a fast 5-ply blade developed in cooperation with Ma Lin. The very hard outer veneers are combined with selected Scandinavian pine veneers to give the blade power. The thick, medium soft center veneer helps to give the blade the very good ball feel, appreciated by technical offensive players.
    Produced in the famous blade factory in Tranås, Sweden.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite being a 5-ply blade, this racket is praised for its impressively hard feel and excellent spin performance. It handles all techniques from touch shots to aggressive attacks and works with any rubber, making it highly versatile. However, some beginners find the hardness challenging, and advanced players seeking more power may feel it lacks sufficient potency.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent spin and control capabilities for a 5-ply blade
    • Hard top surface enables easy hitting and stability
    • Outstanding versatility with any rubber combination
    • Suitable for mastering all techniques from touch to attack
    • Proven quality from world championship-winning racket
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveFor 5-ply blades, Marin Extra is definitely outstanding. The perfect hardness, flex, and trajectory are unmatched by any other manufacturer's wooden rackets. Compatible with back, front, and special rubbers without any issues.
    ▽ CriticalThe hard feel takes time to adjust to. The ball leaves quickly, and when hitting softer shots, the walnut surface feels restrictive. Difficult to consistently produce quality balls in matches against the surface characteristics.

      Yutchi @ cut Fairly hard

      Player reviews

      It's pretty hard, but not as hard as the "Hard" version, so it's relatively easy to use. And thanks to that moderate hardness, it works with both tension rubber and tacky rubber, and it's also a great match with long pips! If you're a Chinese penhold player wondering whether to switch blades, I really want you to try this one!

      You get great speed and control with this one.
      Topspin drives go in easily too, I think it's good.

      The top layer is hard and fast, but it's a well-balanced blade that makes every technique easy to use. I think it works with any rubber, tacky or tension.

      Robbing master Feels good

      Player reviews

      As expected, this is a gold-medal blade.
      Above all, the wood feel is really great! And on top of that, you get speed too. It's a great blade.

      Co. Done (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      Overall the performance was well balanced,
      but I wasn't a fan of how much the impact shock traveled up into my hand.
      Well, feel is a personal thing, though.
      It seems like it could be used for a long time, from beginner through intermediate/advanced.
      More than that though, once Ma Lin retires, what's going to happen to Yasaka…

      The feel is really good, and both drives and loop drives are easy to put spin on. Pushes and blocks are easy too — this is a high-quality blade.
