Ma Lin Extra Special is a highly acclaimed 7-ply blade, designed for experienced players seeking a decisive offensive game. Renowned for its robust performance and built for aggressive play, this blade enables dynamic top-spin and excellent control in fast exchanges.
Popular in Asia and particularly favoured by players in Japan, this blade is valued for generating power without excessive vibration. The blade’s medium feedback ensures that players receive adequate tactile information during play, allowing for better control over shot placement and spin generation. Its design suits players who prefer a direct, consequential style, enabling effective execution of fast loops, smashes, and counter-attacks.
To complement the Ma Lin Extra Special’s characteristics, pairing it with Rakza 7 enhances spin, providing a balanced combination of speed and control. For players seeking a slightly firmer feel with increased precision, Rakza X is an excellent choice, as it complements the blade’s power-oriented design while offering enhanced grip for spin-heavy strokes.
