Battle Balsa Combo Chinese's Penhold racket fully assembled and ready to go with Yasaka Rakza X rubber making this a powerful combination. Yasaka Edge tape is included.

Battle Balsa from Yasaka is a new blade produced in the famous blade factory in Tranås, Sweden.

Several players appreciate blades with the balsa material, because of the low weight, but also because of the special feel in the ball touch.

In the Battle Balsa, Yasaka has combined the best balsa-quality with Scandinavian pine to produce a faster blade, but still with a low weight. The special feeling of a “self playing blade” is of course still there.

Assembled with red on the forehand and black on the backhand.

Blade:
Speed: 97
Control: 96
Weight: 75

Yasaka developed Rakza 7 using mainly natural rubber gum for the top sheet. This improves the level of grip and the amount of spin drastically. The top sheet is combined with the new Power Sponge, working in synergy, producing Yasaka's newest Hybrid Energy rubber.

When the player hits the ball hard, the rubber grips the ball and the stroke can be used to place the ball accurately, both in direction and length. Serve and short returns are very sharp and easy to control. Due to the increased percentage of natural gum the durability is improved. A winning combination!

Rubber:
Speed: 92
Spin: 94
Control: 70
Hardness: Medium-Hard

Ready to Play

All Butterfly Proline and Pro Combo rackets come fully assembled and are approved for competition by the International Table Tennis Federation.

Replaceable Rubber Sheets

With proper care, your blade will last for year but the rubber sheets may need periodic replacement. When it's time for a refresh, don't discard your racket. The high-quality glue used in all combo rackets allows for easy removal of worn-out rubber, enabling you to either replace it yourself or have it professionally assembled. Choose the same rubber for a familiar feel or upgrade for enhanced speed, spin, or a combination of both. Enjoy a racket that evolves with your game, keeping you at the top of your performance.

FAQ: What is the rubber thickness of this combo?
Unless otherwise stated, all Yasaka/Donic/XIOM Pro Combos come with 2.0mm or 2.1mm rubber but can be ordered in all other available sizes if a note is placed in the "other instructions" section of the order form.
