Sanwei 75 inner carbon is a great blade

[Cadoia]

So I have been shopping cheaper chinese equipment lately to just try out. Recent blade that arrived was the Sanwei Inner Carbon. I think it was 30$ or something on aliexpress.
I am using Viscaria as my main blade so I am spoiled with good quality.

That Sanwei blade is incredible. It took me hours of play before I could put my finger on something that wasnt as good as the Viscaria. The loops are better feel in Viscaria. Arc is easier. The Sanwei is a bit more direct with lower throw angle.
And isnt that a quality that some like and some dont? I mean its not really a flaw in itself I guess.
The control is amazing. blocks too. placing the ball. The blade FEELS lighter, but I didnt measure it. But thats something I like.
Speed is so close to Viscaria I wasnt sure if there was a difference. If anything it might be a tad slower. Spin amazing.
balanced blade. almost as good as Viscaria. flexible, not too much or too little vibration.
My friend liked this blade the most out of all 8 different ones we had available.
To me the viscaria still has the edge because of the loops and slightly better feel to it.
For 30$ I think you get a LOT for your money.
This blade and the Yinhe Pro 01 are both competing with the bigger more expensive boys out there on the market.
If your a young poor student you still have great high level options that wont break the bank.

I sold one of mine to a young competitive player, he even asked me why did I sell it as it's so good quality.
BTW, not all Chinese brands make blades with ST handle (unless you order a batch), Sanwei does.

This sounds amazing! What rubbers do you have on it?

Did you write a review for Pro 01? How is it vs Viscaria?

Did you write a review for Pro 01? How is it vs Viscaria?

I think I mentioned it in some post somewhere in here.
I used it with a rubber I never tried on the Viscaria so its hard to compare, where I used the Sanwei with exact same rubber that was on my Viscaria so I clearly could compare.
But with that said I really like the feeling of the blade. much better than the Yinhe v14 Pro. I couldnt put my finger on something that I didnt like. It has all the qualities of a good blade. Just hard to talk about as I have no comparison with same rubbers.

Same situation with V14 pro but it was easy to notice that blades shortcomings regardless of what rubber sits on it. The 01 Pro is way better and its obvious. Better than Viscaria? Dont think so. As good? maybe. And..... its relative as some will like one over the other according to their playing style.

Both FH and BH?

I recently got the Sanwei 75 Inner as well. Totally agree with your comments. One more thing i would like to add that the handle is one of the most comfortable of all the blades I have. The quality of the blade surpasses the bigger brother Sanwei 75 Inner PBO where the finishing is way better and fine polished handle even the Inner PBO cost double.

How do you rate the Sanwei 75 Inner vs Yinhe Pro 01? I do have both and I believe the Sanwei is better on control and slightly better on backhand as compared than the Yinhe. I believe the Sanwei has higher elasticity which gives a better backhand shots.

yes both BH and FH.

Your asking a good question..... Yesterday I was thinking which one do I like the best and since I didnt play with exactly the same rubber on both its a hard guess to make but I would agree with you on choosing the Sanwei. It was just so impressive and yes I agree on the handle is amazing as well. Sanwei feels little more "organic" "fluid". I guess flexible. But without it being too much. Its simply just a very VERY balanced blade. While the 01 pro is by far also an amazing blade.
I think they are so close to each other I am sure you will find people rooting for both blades as their favorite. Pro 01 might be slightly faster? Slightly stiffer. Sanwei slightly more control. slightly more "feel"?. Maybe even slightly more spin? I think you will agree with me on this. The sanwei simply just impressed me so much I was blown away..... for what? 30$ Its insane really. I still cant really fathom this. Thanks to Tensorbackhand in here, he recommended me this blade.
He also recommended me 2-3 other inner carbon blades that cost little more he said was even better. Since I never tried inner carbon before I just went for the cheapest. Now im curious what you get for little more $. Its a slippy slope this EJing haha.
update: I know you will ask so I went in and checked the other blades he recommended. The best one was this one:

And the last one was the Sanwei.
He explained to me something about the outer wood layers. Difference etc. Honestly I am not that deep into this stuff but maybe he is reading this and will comment on this.

If the 30$ Sanwei is that good and he feels the Loki 80$ is the best, I am wondering how that would stand up against the Viscaria. Its all relative off course and a matter of opinion. If I was on a budget reading this I would consider one of these 3 blades here mentioned depending on funds available.

Played some sessions with 75 inner and Glayzer 09c on FH. It actually felt like home. It was a bit too dwelly and a bit too high throw on all-wood limba top blade for my taste but here it was just all right. It was fun to play long fast barely clearing the net flicks with a simple pancake forward movement. Likely Dignics 09c would suit it as well.

BH was another story though. Yinhe Moon felt a bit dead too me, GA8 shooting too long even on all wood, Rozena was perfect om all wood but just a bit too bouncy on block now, not dramatically but still. I've adapted its way of generating speen and I'd say it's not that boring rubber at all.

It's a great blade and probably the most comfortable to play with at the moment for me.

However, I just discovered within the past few minutes that you must seal the blade or you will get some splintering.

I just removed a rubber from it for the first time and it left behind a good amount of raised fine spliters (more like a fuzz than long strands).

Thought that the harder koto outer and DHS No. 15 glue would be no problem, but it looks like some grains are just more ready to stick to something and peel upwards with glue. It's more the directional structure of the wood than anything.

Some light sanding and a few layers of wipe on poly and it's smooth again.

But if you haven't sealed it yet then I recommend you do. And if you already got rubbers on it unsealed, then be very careful removing.

I ordered a Sanwei 75 inner yesterday and am interested in sealing it as you have recommended. What do I seal it with as I have never done this before? Thanks

Wipe on polyurethane. Minwax sells this in North America I think.

I'm in Asia so I bought some random off brand. Should look like milk. Dries almost completely clear.

Been playing with this blade for eight months now (previously used Tmount hinioki ace and Yinhe pro feeling).
Tried various Xiom rubbers that I am used to playing with (Vega X, Pro). Was looking for a way to reign it in, just a little.
Tried Tibhar Hybrid MK, then K3. Moving in the right direction, but still not quite there. Then I tried Tibhar MK fx. Viola! Now my forehand works exactly how I want. All the power I want to hit clean winners. The ability to vary loop trajectory at will. Absorb opponents attacks with ease. Happy days

I think Sanwei 75 inner and Pro Feeling have the same construction. How do they differ in speed, flex, dwell?

Is the core ply the same thickness?

I think the differences mostly stem from the weight difference (My Sanwei 75 inner is 88g. My Pro feeling is 92g)
That being said, the Sanwei feels a bit harder, crispy and I think has a slightly higher frequency.
Perhaps the difference is partially attributable to the fact that Pro feeling supposedly has a basalt component to the composite?
Now that I have the Sanwei set up how I want, I will probably purchase another.

I might buy this blade as a backup to my Xiang Peng DHS Hurricane King acB as they have the same composition

I wonder how different the 75 inner is to the Yinhe Pro 03 or Telson Power or XVT Rage. They all use the same kind of formula.

But for some reason 75 inner is the only one that doesn't dye the outer layer of koto. What's the purpose of the dye?

Looks is the only thing I would assume. I doubt it gives any real advatange or disadvantage

A bit off this topic but I'm keen to hear your reviews on the Xiang Peng DHS acB blade vs Viscaria.

I've the Sanner 75 Inner and Yinhe Pro 03 on order. Was initially wanting to get the acB instead of the Pro 03.
