You cant expect a real breakthrough in making table tennis paddle until when HongHong's recent proposition of non-wooden blades comes in force. This proposition implies that blades all-made of carbonized materials to appear on market as well. Hopefully, it is never to come true. 🤗

wow this is a beautiful blade. how does it play? can you compare to viscaria?
Will play test next week and will update you. Will be playing with boosted Yinhe jupiter 3 asia on both sides- FH 39' & BH 37'. Otherwise Viscaria is outer ALC blade. The only other outer ALC I have is Lin Gaoyuan ALC which has good feeling and sweet spot

Played with it for 3 hours session yesterday. It's a decent inner ALC blade but blades like Yinhe pro 05 inner ALC, Butterfly innerforce ZLC/ALC and another Inner blade I use which Neottec I-carbon are Superior to this blade. The only thing going for this I would say it's is large sweet spot. Otherwise, aforementioned inner carbon blades are better. Aesthetically though, it's nice and it's comfortable. Performance is 7/10.

I have generally found Sanwei blades to be excellent in feeling and control and power.

What makes the Pro 05 better to you? Do they have the same size of core?
Which one has more feeling/flex?

The core is thicker on the Sanwei and slightly thinner on the Pro 05. Feeling and reaction is better on the pro 05, but the sweet spot is larger on the Sanwei. Inner KLC on the Pro 05 has a more crisp and stiffer feeling than the ALC of the Sanwei. The inner ALC of the sanwei feels more seamless and integrated with the wood layers, whereas on the Pro 05, you can tell the advantage it's giving you.

Thanks, you probably saved me from making another mistake. I hate the feeling of very thick core Long 5 clones.

I might go with the Deeplin inner blade instead.

I sold my Lemuria Harimoto because it was too soft.
I will sell my Loki W81 Inner because it is too stiff, although its pretty fun to punch with.

Don't get me wrong its a great blade but I just think the Yinhe Pro 05 is better. Get the Pro 05 because Yinhe's quality is the best of the Chinese brands.

I had the Pro 05 before. The core was too thick. It felt overly stiff and lacking in feeling for me. Also the headsize was too small, and handle was too smooth
