Yasaka Earlest Carbon+ Table Tennis Blade

The Yasaka Earlest Carbon+ is a lightweight 5+2 carbon offensive table tennis blade designed for players who want a balanced combination of speed, stability, and controllable carbon feeling. As the carbon version within the Earlest series, the blade focuses on providing modern offensive power while remaining easy to handle, making it suitable for players transitioning into composite blades.

Constructed with a 5-ply wood + 2-ply carbon structure, the Earlest Carbon+ uses lightweight center materials combined with carbon reinforcement to create a blade that feels both fast and manageable. According to Yasaka product descriptions, the carbon layers are positioned internally to maintain good operability while still producing the crisp rebound and momentum associated with carbon blades.

In play, the Earlest Carbon+ delivers a mid-fast offensive speed with a firm and crisp impact feeling. Compared with harder high-end carbon blades, it offers a more balanced and accessible response, making it easier to control during topspin rallies and offensive transitions. The blade performs especially well in looping, counter attacks, punch blocking, and fast close-to-the-table offensive play.

The lightweight construction — around 82g according to manufacturer specifications — gives the blade excellent maneuverability during quick rallies while still maintaining solid offensive stability. The enlarged sweet spot from the carbon layers also improves forgiveness on off-center shots, helping players maintain consistency during fast exchanges.

Compared with pure all-wood blades, the Earlest Carbon+ provides more direct rebound and offensive power, while still preserving enough dwell time and touch for controlled spin generation. Many players view it as a user-friendly introduction to carbon offensive blades without the extreme stiffness or speed found in professional-level OFF+ equipment.
