Yasaka Sweden Classic

It is a very good blade if you are looking to play a controlled top spin game, but it does lack a bit in the speed department.  Great feel and control, adequate speed, but not quite fast enough for slam-bang play.  Passing players with quick reflexes and good footwork required playing the ball off the bounce or moving them out of postition.  More for tactical play like Samsonov or Appelgren

I used it with Mark V M2 max back when the 38mm ball was still in and loved it  The M2 has a fairly hard sponge, but I could not say whether or not you would like the Classic with Chinese rubber.
