What most players appreciate about a 5-ply quality blade is the good feel and excellent control. However, to adapt to today's faster game, many players still want more power and speed.

In the Ma Lin EXTRA OFFENSIVE, YASAKA uses pine wood from Scandinavia combined with walnut to achieve the desired speed. The hard walnut wood, as the outer veneer, combined with the pine wood gives the EXTRA OFFENSIVE its exceptional playing characteristics.

The gluing technique and manufacturing method is of course done according to YASAKA's high quality standard.
