Cheap blades? I like Stuor and Gambler. Stuor you can get it on Aliexpress. You can find a cheap inner ALC blade pretty easily on Stuor2017 store on Aliexpress.

Stuor HL5 replica?

Stuor HL5 replica?

Sounds good to me. You don't have to break your bank getting one. My favorite one is their ZJK clone. I also like their Viscaria clone. However, I don't use those blades personally. I am playing with Gambler.

I do find Stuor2017 has very fast shipping and the craftmanship is just fine for the price! I am not a big person on how beautiful the handle it. I get a blade. I slap on two rubbers that I usually use (like some old H3 on the forehand and some old ESN soft bouncy rubber on the backhand side) and I will know if I like it or not. I am not big on memorizing the composition of the blades.

I’ll get the HL5 rep as I have a 301X which is very has bad QC, seems like DHS are cutting costs by reducing their QC

Best bets are Sanwei, Yinhe, Stuor, or Sword

How close are stuor blades with the original?

Yinhe pro 05 is an inner klc. But yeah, the control is good and spin is awesome - at least for me

Jeah yinhe pro 05 is great, but its a HL5 clone. If you want a Viscaria clone the the pro 01.
Both are of great quality. The handles are a bit thicker than DHS blades.

try 2 of these, they look ok

XVT has cheap replicas of blades. Their blades have good quality and feedback.

Yinhe Pro 01
Sanwei 75 outer/inner

 

[VilligeMaster]

I used few cheap DHS blades, Pg5, Pg7, Pg7X, 301, and I can't complain. The thin handle and avarage look is compensated by overal performance.

Which is faster? 05 or 01, my current setup is a inner alc, i wanna try FZD or Vis but the price is to high.

I like my Sanwei (HC-1S), built pretty well, two steps ahead of 729(Blue ALC) which felt like someone procrastinated in making it.

I've heard mostly good things about Yinhe, Stuor, XVT and Lemuria.

How close are stuor blades with the original?

Honestly pretty close. Physics is physics and wood is wood.

If a blade is slightly thicker, it will usually feel a bit stiffer. Reverse is true too.

So if the Stuor copies the original specs closely, it will generally be pretty close. Sometimes you get a slightly worse blade, sometimes you end up with an even better blade than the original. It will be pretty close in speed/stiffness plus or minus 20% I would say.

I think 01 is faster as it is outer carbon

For me:
Pro 05: 1356Hz, 85.0g, 5.9mm. Inner KLC, Limba top
Pro 01: 88.8g. 1485Hz. 5.8mm. Outer ALC, Koto top

They are different blades, you really need to know whether you want a Koto (harder) or Limba (softer) top, and whether you want the direct lower dwell time feeling of the outer carbon relative to the better control of the inner KLC (my feeling). I get more spin out of the Pro 05 with the same (new H3 Neo unboosted) rubbers.
Basically, the Pro 05 is closer to a 7-ply limba top blade like the Yinhe 437 or Yinhe U1-VB, or the Tibhar Samsonov Black Edition. The Pro 01 is closer to any of the other external carbon blades like the Yinhe T7S, T8S, (Cypress top).

Also I think the best rubber for the Pro 01 and 05 is the F/H DHS H3 Neo (or maybe Yinhe Big Dipper) and for the backhand it depends on how jumpy and fast you want it. I want it slow so I would play the H3 Neo if it weren't as heavy, so I play the Neottek Hinomi M or Yinhe Moon soft.

I own 3 pro 01's. All 93 gram.
Own a Timo boll ALC, played a bit with Viscaria now and then.
Overall pro 01 is a lot like my friends LGY ALC, it is slighly softer compared to viscaria and a lot easier to play.
I wouldn't compare it to TBalc as handle and wings are completely different.

All the upside and downside of ALC blades are the same with Pro 01, as it feels and performs the same.

Blade comes factory sealed.
I first used voc glue which does not stick on sealed blades. Lesson learned

 

[WingTT]

My Stuor Long 5 clone is in a large ballpark of my Long 5 but does not play the same. It is a bit stiffer and harder and has less of that deep hold. It's probably closer to the Fang Bo blade from what I've read of the FB blade.

If you have smaller hands, an inexpensive blade you should check out is the Sanwei Hynover. It has good speed, control and spin. I prefer it over the Yinhe Pro 01 in terms of control.
