Yeah it is a fast blade, the sweetspot is great, but it was a little bit to stiff for me, but for the right playstyle it could be good, it plays like a faster infinity with the hollow feeling

Thanks Gabriel would you say it is an overly fast blade? Also if you remember, is the carbon layer right under the ebony layer?

Yasaka gave it highest rating in terms of speed (20+/20).
Life is too short for defensive play.

no no it is not ultra fast, it is still controllable, i think for the plastic ball it can be a good choice, and it is not overly expensive, i think you should try it, the controll is there, with the right rubber it could be a good weapon, but the blade is not for persons who play with pin point placement, but for players who attack very hard with third ball attack, and it is a little bit on the harder side.

for attack players who play with power and placement i suggest the butterfly innerforce layer alc (no feel but super placement and power) or the nittaku kasumi special (a little bit expensive) but it is powerfull and more controllable than the yasaka ebony and you could pair it with any rubber (soft and hard) and you will be very happy when you are a two winged looper. The Kasumi Special is my main blade and is like the Nittaku Barwell fleet but with more flex and a little bit cheaper.

Thank you Gabriel I guess I will try it whenever it goes on sale at tt11! I just wanted to make sure it is not a rock like the TB tricarbon

How about the measured thickness?  TT11 states 6.3mm; the same as Ma Lin Max Carbon but when I measured my Max Carbon, it's only 6.0mm.   How thick is yours?

Mine is about 6.3 however i don’t have one of those precision tools to measure... i think will all wood products there will be some variation so IMHO 0.3 difference is within reason
