I bought a yasaka ma lin carbon and i felt it was too much for me. I thought of buying a soft rubber to compensate, something like(rakza 7soft, v15limber, m3, etc).
What do you think? Im a Intermediate level player
Well, that's what happens when you buy carbon too early xD. No worries though, everyone does that at one point (yes, me included)

If you really, like I mean really, want control get a Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, not its carbon variant.

If not (and you wanna keep the carbon), then soft rubbers don't do anything, a fast blade makes everything fast, so you can't do anything about it. Ig the closest you can get are Chinese rubbers, since they have good control too.

Rakza 7 soft, Xiom Vega Europe and M3 are pretty good choices (I have played with R7 soft, Vega Europe and M2 before. I assume M3 is simply softer than M3). I would not go for V15 Limber as it might be a bit slow but maybe that is what you are looking for right now.

Ma Lin Carbon is not considered a fast carbon blade. You can change the rubber and stick with the combo and you should get used to it soon.

Dont totally trust what i say but in my opinion don’t go for soft rubbers. You can try unbolted H3 39 degrees and bh maybe thinner sponge rakza 7. Slowly build up on using the fast blade and get used to it.

How about you? Your rubbers are pretty soft too, you know? I recommend TG2 for you bro

Same. Afterr trying my friends bat with H3 NEO the boost really is something. But my rubbers may be better in building technique and at least it isn’t a tacky dust magnet like h3.

I think those rubbers will build you a European style. Sadly, that will 100% not work for you. You have a big swing my guy, and you can actually keep the same size, just that you're not using it to its full potential. Look at Xu Xin's big ass swing. You need Chinese rubbers bro.

I'm not forcing you, just a recommendation :D

I know! Just played a game with my friend today and guess what-he went over to the dark side-he got Yinhe 955 0 7mm. At least now I get to play against LP.

I'm gonna change to h3 NEO when fastarc starts getting worn down - maybe another month. Then this are back!
YES! BEAUTIFUL IDEA! Trust me it'll work out for you.

But if you want you also have other options
- H3 com: 5/10 speed, 8/10 spin
- H3 NEO: 6/10 speed, 7/10 spin
- TG2: 4/10 speed, 10/10 spin
- TG2 NEO: 5/10 speed, 8/10 spin
- TG3: 5/10 speed, 9/10 spin
-TG3 NEO: 6/10 speed, 7/10 spin

There are other factors, like control and feeling, also take this estimation with a big grain of salt, so unbelivably rough.
