Never have seen it before until maybe last year, I don't understand how that could be discontinued. Elements of 75 Inner's design are very similar to Fextra One, so this must be very new. The only thing is that could have been meant for their domestic market - but as it can be purchased from...

This is what I want to find out relatively soon. I will put them on 7 ply all-wood blades with hard top ply (e.g. Palio Way 002, Yinhe Uranus U2 or 729 Rose 7), then evaluate. Another direction of rubber choices I make is to get pips out rubbers from various sources. I have found a few very...

This is roughly two third of what I have...

This blade is beautifully made... the best one which I have seen from Sanwei yet. I love this fish scale pattern of the Koto wood, and the ply thicknesses are even within a tight margin (this is definitely an improvement). I will source a good set of rubbers for this blade and then review it...

I had certain expectations about H9, but it looked a bit gimmicky, especially for the price asked, so I did not buy a sheet yet - it seems, that I had a better decision when I chose to enjoy sheets of Friendship Battle II Gold and Battle III instead (they are on the way, not received them yet).

If you are comfortable with ordering from AliExpress, you can order one of the few different Yinhe blades with similar structure. I am very satisfied with PD 537 S, which has Walnut top ply and has 6.6mm total thickness - it has noticeably crisper/more direct touch than Uranus U3, which has...

Yes, that was also my thought, but on my side, simply the price considerations were sufficient, i. e. from a $20 racket, I think a $80 racket is a suitable step up - getting a only blade at around the twice of it (not sure, but I guess, Acoustic is within the $150-200 range) does not seem to be...

Since you have mentioned you don't want a super fast blade (or racket), I would suggest you to get a pre-assembled, but more advanced racket, specifically this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32497999298.html Yinhe blades are pretty good in terms of price/performance, and I never had any...

Here is the item listing from the shop: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003152401096.html Spongle looks exactly like on the black sheet of the old version, but without any prints, totally blank. Another difference is: the old version has opaque red rubber topsheet, but the new has translucent.

Regarding LAC, there could be a definide difference between the two main product versions. From the BEO store, I got the greenish package version, and both black and red sheets were around 64.5 g heavy uncut (no printing regarding hardness info on back of the sponge). From another store, I got...

Had to make this racket, I will hopefully test it soon. Blade: Sword Dazzle Wood (7 ply: Limba | Spruce | Ayous | Ayous core) FH: Xiom Omega V Asia (max) BH: DMS Firestorm Green Edition (2.1)

I am particularly sad at Yinhe seemingly discontinued the blade called 'Pro Feeling'. While I am not particularly familiar with many inner fiber/carbon blades, I think, that was a good one (I still have one ready to be fitted with a good set of rubber, and another with Rakza Z on both sides). I...

Yinhe Uranus U2 is one of the best go-to test/reference blades I know. I got multiple pieces of them, and there were no significant differences among them, each had a mid Off- speed rating with a good feeling and predictable dynamics (also similar to Xiom Solo in that respect, that the top ply...

Yes, I do like 7-ply blades 🤩 - somehow I feel more control with them compared to 5-ply blades. My first one was a TSP SWAT. I have a few PD 537 S blades, and I can discover some deviance amongst them, mainly because of the different thicknesses of the top walnut plies. The ones with thinner...

Despite the thickness (~6.4mm), I think, Xiom Solo would be a good substitute, as it provides a great feeling for power looping. Yinhe Uranus U2 is also a close substitute (thickness ~6.0mm) which gives also a good feeling, maybe a touch harder than Solo. While DHS Power G9 has theoretically the...

I would suggest getting a pair of Victas Ventus Stiff - it is 45° hard, but the rubber topsheet is rather firm, somewhat similar to the topsheets seen on Nittaku Fastarc C-1 or G-1, so it feels a bit harder and more precise. It also has a very good price/performance and does not seem to be...

This is a proper EJ buy - it does not have to be a pricey buy, it is enough if it is worthy ;) I got a few of them from AliExpress, and I have fallen in love with them. Exceptionally valuable offensive all-wood blade. The harder, crisper contact of the outer walnut plies can be definitely felt -...

I asked this: Rubbers manufactured by ESN (so called "tensor rubbers") tend to lose weight over several weeks of storage, when they are already glued to a table tennis blade. What chemical substance evaporates from them? The answer was: The specific chemical substance that evaporates from...

11-8 Dima but "premade" is not so specific :confused: so anything can happen

The chestnut outer plies do not seem to be too thick - based on a well regarded datasource, Horse Chestnut is only marginally heavier than American Chestnut (500 kg/m3 vs 480 kg/m3), so I guess, that the difference in weight would be within 2g even with this enlarged surface. Back in a while I...
