Yasaka: A Respected Brand in Table Tennis with Ma Lin
Yasaka has a long history and is known worldwide. Founded in 1947 in Japan, the brand is headquartered in Tokyo and is renowned for its high-quality table tennis products.
One remarkable feature of Yasaka is its close partnership with Ma Lin, one of the most successful table tennis players in history. Born in 1980 in China, Ma Lin has won numerous international titles, including Olympic gold medals and World Championships. His impressive career and his penhold playing style have made Yasaka a preferred partner. His induction into the ITTF Hall of Fame further elevated both his legacy and Yasaka’s popularity.
The distribution rights for Yasaka are held by the wholesaler Sport Schreiner. Yasaka offers a wide range of rubbers, blades, and accessories appreciated by table tennis players of all skill levels. The brand is particularly known for its high-quality rubbers that provide an optimal balance between speed and spin. The Yasaka Mark V deserves special mention—it is one of the most widely used all-round rubbers in history. For offensive players, the Rakza series offers a broad selection with various sponge hardness levels and high-quality top sheet variations.
In the blade sector, the Ma Lin series is especially popular. Recently, contract player Mattias Falck has drawn attention by achieving numerous successes using the Yasaka Rakza PO short pips rubber on his forehand.
