Ok. Thank you all for your replies! To conclude, this change of weight is normal, and to discern if the sample is lighter than average, average or higher than average for the model of your blade, you should weigh it just after removing the plastic film and compare to the manufacturer’s...

Oh wow, that quickly? Did you take them straight out of the plastic covering before sealing?

@mocker88 do you have any input here? Being a retailer of Yinhe and general enthusiast of Chinese TT products :) (I was planning to buy it from your shop, but you didn't have it in your assortment..)

Lol thank you for your (potential) sacrifice

My scale have a tolerance of +/- .1 g. Its more specifically a coffee scale, not a kitchen scale per say. Ok, good to know! But I thought Korea would have a higher humidity than Greece..?

I’ve checked it - it gives correct readings..

I ordered a Yinhe U2 on Aliexpress. I wanted to get one slightly above the average weight, and asked for this from the seller. The stated average weight for this blade is 89 g, +/- 5 g. I received it, and after removing the plastic foil and included protective sheet, the blade weighed 91.1 g...

I probably spent more than double of what I really needed on a kitchen scale, to get a fancy one that has +/- 0.1 g precision over +/- 1 g precision. Just so I can weigh my blades and rubbers more accurately :)

Isn’t the 986 and U2 completely different compositions?

Cool! It would be interesting to see the difference of spin after blocking actively (firm grip and some forward motion) vs. blocking soft or passively (loose grip and no movement when blocking).

If you're new to gluing I would buy Rev. 3 medium viscosity. I have not come across any other glue that gives you as much time before the glue starts to "gel" or partially dry. It's generally a very good glue. EDIT: I mean the regular version of Rev.3 medium viscosity, not the odourless version.

For me the shipping is 38 Euros though..

Not tried the T5000

I believe the K5 is a higher quality blade than the K2, I would spend a bit more and go with the K5. But it depends on what kind of speed rating you want in the blade.

Big Dipper 38, Jupiter 3 Asia 38 are both good unboosted IMO. Have heard great things about 729 Bloom Power as well, but never tried it myself.

For me it's the opposite, most handles feel just fine when holding them off-court. Then when I start playing with a blade I feel if it actually works for me or not. Offensive S in FL is a GREAT blade, but it was after playing with it I actually realized that the handle didn't work for me.. The...

What is the hardness?

Is there such a thing? I'm going to put together a racket for a colleague of mine. AliExpress budget. He currently plays with a Stiga 3-star something premade (all wood). His play style is mostly driving and flat hitting/smashing, some blocking. Very little active looping. That, combined with...
