What are the must try composite blades from common Chinese brands such as DHS, Yinhe, SANWEI and Sword?

[Robin0910]

If you’ve loved any that you’ve tried from them please don’t hesitate to tell me, also please list its composition if you know it.

DHS Fang Bo/HL5 obviously
DHS 301
Sanwei F3 Pro
Sanwei 75/inner 75
Yinhe Pro 05, 01

Yinhe, D715

 

[TensorBackhand]

What renowned blades are Yinhe Pro 05 and SANWEI F3 Pro similar to?

Pro 05 would be roughly similar to HL5

F3 Pro uses softer wood (ayous vs limba) than HL5, so it feels like a flexier version of HL5.

Also the Sword VSEA kinda made a name for itself

729 F1 used to be a forum darling, I think Yinhe V16 also deserves a mention as well. Never used the F1 but the V16 is very fast and direct, ~6mm with Michael Maze composition.

I like to add Yinhe V14pro

I'm planning on picking up an inner carbon blade from Aliexpress in a few days and have been doing some research on these too.

Sanwei F3 Pro appears to be the most wood like with the most dwell and softest carbon. They changed the blade from a harder and stiffer formula a few years ago but strangely kept everything else the same.

Sanwei 75 Inner was reviewed mostly positively by Table Tennis Gan with the main complaint being an unclear feel on mid power shots. He mentioned that it was a good value for the price.

Yinhe Pro 05 is a bit of a mystery since there only a few people who have tried and commented on it. There is a review of the Yinhe Pro 05x (a different blade that's thicker, stiffer, and faster) and it's a very negative review. Other comments floating around seem mostly satisfied with the blade, saying that it's about as fast at the much-liked Pro 01 with a softer compact point. It's a bit harder and a step closer to outer carbon blades than popular inner blades like DHS Fang Bo 2.

Sanwei 75 PBO Inner is the biggest mystery since it's oveshadowed by the regular outer version. The outer version was reviewed positively by Gan saying that it was similar to the FZD ZLC but is easier to play and with more fault tolerance at the expense of ball quality. I've found one commenter on reddit that is very happy with the PBO Inner. This blade would be more premium than the rest above and is also the most expensive at over $80. It comes in it's own 'premium' case.

I still don't know which one I'll end up picking up. The PBO Inner seems the most interesting, but also the biggest investment to risk ratio. I've been impressed with the finish of my Yinhe U-2 so I think the Pro 05 will probably also be great for the $50 cost.

I would go with the 75 PBO, it is probably the most memorable of the bunch you listed.

F3 pro, 75 inner, 05 are probably fairly similar to each other. They are a nice, flexy, fast, springy blade.

Do you have any other information about the 75 PBO Inner? There is a lot of info about the regular outer version, but I haven't had luck finding much about the inner version. I've heard it's pretty much the same as the Froster PBO, but I can't find any info about the Froster PBO Inner either.

I like the blue/grey color scheme of the blade, and like Sanwei handles generally, so any good longform review of it would probably convince me to pick it.

I'm pretty sure its like a DHS 301z structure

So its Koto-ayous-zlc-ayous core structure.

If GAN says the 75 pbo is like FZD zlc, maybe the inner version is like harimoto zlc

 

[TensorBackhand]

If I remember correctly, @DukeGaGa said he bought one recently. Any feedback how it plays?

Based on the pictures on Aliexpress, the Inner PBO doesn't seem to have an outer koto layer, but looks to be limba. The regular 75 PBO pictures on Aliexpress are clearly koto though.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Oh you seem to be right.

 

[TensorBackhand]

In that case it might really be like a harimoto zlc clone

 

[Topspinslinger]

I own Pro 01, Sanwei 75 and fang bo carbon. All these blades are quality, i really like the quality of Yinhe blades. I find fang bo b2x stiffer innerforce, it is really fast with hurricane.

 

[John_]

Sanwei v14 pro and dhs hurricane 301, the original.

The 301 pairs beautifully with Chinese rubbers, and the v14 pro feels very similar to the tb alc, at 1/4th of the price, just 40€!

Keep in mind the handle of the yinhe is pretty tiny, it's smaller and rounded than my yeo.
