    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.

      It's easy to switch between speed drives and loop drives.

      You can really tell it's a blade built around Ma Lin's characteristics — stops, blocks, and wide-angle shots are all easy to pull off!

      I'm going to keep working hard with this, aiming to play like Ma Lin!

      I bought this thinking I'd be able to hit powerful drives like Ma Lin, but since it doesn't have carbon or anything, it's surprisingly not that bouncy. Unless you have Ma Lin's kind of power, that is...
      That said, in exchange you get a nice drive trajectory and easy blocking, so overall I'm satisfied.
      The bounce is just right for the short game, so I might recommend it to people who aren't great at receiving.
      It's a relatively light blade, so you can swing it fine even with a rubber on the reverse side.
      I'm counting on this blade to help me master reverse-side penhold technique (lol)
