I had a lot of composite blades. My Yasaka Falck Carbon have one side chipped top ply limba and looks like Mars/Mercury. The box from blade is one of the worst, a disposable plastic cover ...The price is high for this type of quality. This is the worst quality product for the money. Edges are raw. I wrote here all my complains.
This is stiff unique innerforce blade. I had Victas ZX In x2, Dhs Long 5 x7, a lot of butterfly inner alc with names on and without names I think about around 50 blades, Tibhar shang kun AC, Donic Jan Ove Waldner Gold Edition, Andro Synteliac VCI x2...like I start to hate innerforce alc as construction . My guilty pleasure is good vibes for Harimoto alc because it is classic allround blade, used by a lot of pros, and you can block and play everything without any problems.
Yasaka is stiff which gives you impression uncomfortable to hold but after one hour you start to feel every shot and you forget about composite. This blade start to feel like a hinoki, honey- heaven for bears but it is fast modern blade without any hold. I glued two dignics ( 05/64) on the yasaka and it was not too fast like Mizutani super zlc or even Mizutani zlc / Timo Boll alc with Tenergy but Yasaka is dynamic blade as inner blade. My friend take my blade and start play a lot faster and spinnier shots without any technique changes and he use Waldner Gold with Chinese rubbers. We feel like it is not inner blade and more outer alc blade but it is softer than outer blade.
The Control is better than OK but it is not made for catapult rubbers. I tried MXP, Tenergy 05 and start overshooting the table but it is more suitable for 50+ degrees rubbers with lower trajectory.
Dignics or Chinese rubbers plays perfect and if you can swallow the price and cheap box and you want try something new even with known construction this is good money spend because feeling, dwell time and quality of spin is top notch and not compare to anything. I never played w968 or long 5 provincial but maybe this is the closest blade to them.
Yogi said that blade have soft juicy feeling and plays very good as yasaka blade and this is truth.

Hello, I can relate something to Yinhe 537 and W7. I play with the Clipper WRB every day, and I have been looking for a slightly faster alternative for some time - I like the medium hardness of the clipper, but I wanted more stiffness. I just tried the Yinhe 537s and in my opinion it is quite similar to the Clipper but faster and harder. However, years of playing Stiga mean that I have to devote a lot of time to changing the base, i.e. the board. I also recently bought Falck W7 and to be honest, I don't like it at all. In my opinion there is no stiffness at all! Some people write that it is stiffer and faster than Clipper. Absolutely. This can be seen with flat hits. You need to put in a lot more strength to finish the ball effectively. I haven't tried Falck Carbon, but I tried something similar to the innerforce Yinhe 970 XXA and I don't like it either - lack of power in my opinion for direct, non-topspin hits. Well, Mattias plays a lot of shots without rotation, so maybe this is a good blade for such purposes. Thanks.

My thoughts on the Falck W7 86g after the first day compared to Nittaku Acoustic LG 81g.
What I wanted from the Falck W7:
- a blade with a larger sweet spot, something more solid and stable for driving/looping at mid distance when the speed picked up.
- I was at the point where I could consistantly hit with full swings using acoustic and wanted a little more speed but not so much that I would hesitate, then stiffen up from missing the table.
The Falck W7 achieved these goals very nicely and agree with comments about having nice speed and control balance.
Additional info:
My glove size is medium and the handle feels great.
The ec/ep numbers at TTgearlab.com are 0.8 acoustic and 0.81 Falck W7, so the level of hold is almost identical. This number according to ttgearlab is the most important and when they are close between two blades, the transition is easiest.
Following are the performance indices of Yasaka Falck W7 (avg.weight = 85.3g) :
– Ep = 1.65
– Ec = 1.34 (Ec/Ep = 0.81)
Rubber:
FH commercial H3 39 (4 layers FTL booster)
BH MXP
I'm happy with these.

Thx for the update, I'm glad you like your new Falk W7 blade.
Sounds like it's the same upgrade i'm thinking about, and I get that you feel it fulfilled your desire for a bit more power.
Would you say there is any downside at all from switching from acoustic to Falk W7? Is anything feels less good then before?

I only played for one day and I did play some matches but didn't notice and downsides. I am curious if I'll have the same thoughts 3 months from now. The feeling is good to me.

Thats good info. Im glad you got the power upgrade you were after with a familiar feel. A concise report like this can really save other people a lot of money. This blade is not that common, so it may fly under a lot of peoples radar. Carbon def has its merits, but it cant compare to the feel of wood.
It's actually Falck W7, not Falk W7. May as well spell your new blade's name correctly.
