  2. Yinhe blade equivalents

    I have the AK47s red and blue on both a Sanwei Fextra 7 and on a Yinhe V-14 Pro. They are very playable rubbers, not very spinny but not too sensitive to spin either. The red is a good forehand rubber although the serve is not the best IMO. Blue is a good inexpensive backhand rubber. I prefer...
  3. Yinhe blade equivalents

    Yes, 3 months ago I also bought a V-14 Pro with two AK47s for 69 € shipped. Now the same seller is selling the same combo for about 95€. Not a small increase IMO.
  4. Yinhe blade equivalents

    I own a Yinhe W6 that I bought less than one year ago for 17 € at Aliexpress. I recently wanted to buy another unit and noticed that most reputable sellers are selling it for about 45-50 €. I have also noticed that the prices of other Yinhe blades have gone up a lot. I wonder if the prices we...

    The Gel Tactic in size 14 finally arrived and you were right. They are considerably narrower than the Gel Rocket, to the point that I prefer to stay with the size 15, which are long on me (not so much with thicker socks) but with which I feel more comfortable and with the foot better supported.

    I received the Gel Tactic yesterday and think they are much better than the Gel Rocket. I would highlight a greater arch support, a better footfall and also a better cushioning when jumping. The toe box is also very wide, similar to the Gel Rocket 9. Unfortunately the size 15 or 50.5 is too big...

    Amazon will deliver tomorrow. Will post as soon as I use them. Thanks!

    I found a pair of Gel Tactics in size 15 on Amazon.es. 15 and 7.5 were the only sizes available. For €73 I didn't think much about it, although I think it's going to be a little big for me, as the Gel Rocket in 14 is really ample and comfortable. Sometimes I think I could be wearing a 13.5 if it...

    Yes, the ones I am currently using –Asics Gel Rocket– are volleyball shoes, however their cushioning lacks for a big guy like me. Beyond this, not many options to choose from as Asics, Mizuno and even Adidas often suffer from stock shortages in larger sizes, even in their own online stores.

    Thank you. They seem to be better made than the Asics Gel Rocket. They seem to be out of stock everywhere (in size 14) but will order a pair as soon they are available.

    I have been using Asics Gel-Rocket 9 and 10 for the last year. Both are very comfortable and seem to have good support and reasonable cushioning. However, when I train in a running-style New Balance 410 (they are not proper running shoes) the next day my feet and back hurt less than with the...

    Maybe Sonutraveller meant if the OP wanted a review of a particular handle type.

    We all do. But after trying about 12 combinations of wood and rubber in less than a year, I know that each combination makes you feel better in some way, although the only thing that makes you improve in everything is training. Although I can play with any of the combinations that I have...
