Yasaka Myth Soft Carbon

Introducing the Myth Series – The Next Evolution The new Myth blade series is officially replacing the Ma Lin blade lineup, carrying forward the same proven construction and trusted playing characteristics — now with thoughtful enhancements.  Players can expect the same outstanding balance of control, speed, and feel that made the previous series so popular among competitive athletes. At the same time, the Myth series introduces refinements designed to elevate the overall experience. Key improvements include an upgraded handle design for enhanced comfort, improved grip stability, and a more secure feel during intense rallies. The series also features refreshed aesthetics, offering a modern, distinctive look while maintaining the craftsmanship players expect. Myth Soft Carbon is a 5+2-ply offensive blade developed as an evolution of Sweden Extra, offering a refined balance of speed, control, and spin. By incorporating inner carbon layers with CFNW while retaining the soft wood composition, it provides enhanced touch and stability without sacrificing flexibility. Details Myth Soft Carbon builds upon the foundation of Sweden Extra, maintaining its all-wood feel while integrating two inner layers of soft carbon near the core. This upgrade results in a larger sweet spot, improved energy transfer, and greater stability, making it easier to generate powerful shots without losing control. While Sweden Extra is known for its balanced all-wood characteristics, this version adds a layer of refinement for players looking to transition to a faster yet controlled offensive game. The five-ply wood structure ensures excellent ball feedback, allowing for better touch on short balls and precise shot placement. The increased flexibility makes it highly effective for spin-based play, benefiting loopers and all-round attackers who rely on high-arc topspins and spin variations. Despite the added speed from the carbon layers, the blade maintains good dwell time, enabling players to execute controlled strokes with confidence. To complement its soft carbon feel and spin-oriented nature, Rakza 7 is an excellent choice, offering a balance of speed and control with a high-arc trajectory for loop-heavy play. For players who prefer a more direct feel with increased grip and spin, Rakza Z provides a tacky topsheet that enhances the blade’s ability to generate heavy topspin while maintaining precision in short play.
