Buy on AliExpress →Blade Analysis
The Yasaka Sweden Extra features 5-ply wood + 2 carbon, combining wood layers with composite reinforcement for enhanced power and stability. The stiffness rating of 7/10 places this blade in the medium-firm range. You'll feel the ball sink into the wood before it springs back, giving you a balanced mix of dwell time for spin generation and enough kick for fast attacks. The speed rating of 8.5/10 offers enough pace for offensive play while the 7.8/10 control score keeps the ball manageable. This balance makes it suitable for players who attack but still need reliability in rallies. At just 84-89g, this blade is relatively light, making it easy to maneuver and quick on transitions — ideal for players who value hand speed over raw power. This blade is best suited for loop attackers who drive heavy topspin, and is recommended for intermediate, advanced level players.
