Unboxing new Yinhe blade : Yinhe Pro-01

[BeTWO]

07-12-2020 : edit update a review

Yinhe Pro-01
I saw this blade in aliexpress and I had order to Thailand. In my experience with Yinhe v-14 pro this blade is surprise me so much very good build quality, Price, value but in the best thing is feeling of the blade (Now I have use V-14 pro. I had use Xiom Feel AX, Fang bo b2 ,fang bo b2x before). I don't hesitate to buy new model PRO-01. They told me it has same structure with Viscaria and it is a signature blade of ZHU YI(someone that can beat Dima but it not a matter).
If I compare Pro-01 with V-14 PRO. They have same structure with outer ALC but V-14 pro a little bit thicker than Pro-01(I think it may be stiffer than PRO-01). I saw outer ply of V14-pro come with fish scales koto but not on PRO-01 and outer ply of PRO-01 a little bit thicker than V14 pro(I think Pro-01 may has more dwell time when compare to v14 pro). The core of V14 pro is thicker than PRO-01(may be Flex V14 pro < PRO-01)



Tag on the handle is new style with laser cut on it not a plastics tag inside very good looking style.


update: review



In this review, I will compare Yinhe pro-01 vs v14-pro.I pairs it with big dipper for FH and Ckylin pro for BH.

Drive
First of all,PRO-01's handle is more square and a little bit bigger than v14-pro. When I start to drive.It almost the same or maybe the same as v14-pro.I have no adjust a effort I can drive with the same as v14-pro(I like it at the first times).I notice PRO-01 is easy to use and more flexibility than v14-pro (may be easier to generate spin than v14-pro but v14-pro is also very easy to generate too).

Speed and power : V14-pro has more power and speed than PRO-01 because thicker core in v14-pro.V14-pro is stiffer than Pro-01.I can add more force in PRO-01 and the ball was on the table. at max speed I feel V14-pro is a little bit higher but Pro-01's speed is more than enough to win the poiint.
Dwell time : PRO-01 > V14-pro (easy to use, V14-pro is easy too)
Control : PRO-01 > V14-pro because It has slower speed.It easier to place the ball on the table.V14-pro is more direct.
Feeling : Pro-01 has more vibration than v14-pro.you can feel the ball better but V14-pro is not bad.

Conclusion
PRO-01 is a tone down of v14-pro by thinner core.PRO-01 is easier to use than V14-pro because slower and easy to control good feeling.
PRO-01 make me think It is a TMB-ALC in term of characteristic (I have not try Viscaria yet.).

If you want a power or speed with good control go to V14-pro.
If you want a better control with appropriate speed go to PRO-01.
You can switch between both blade with no adjustment(maybe adjust a little bit).Both is very bang for the buck I confirm.
For now,I stick with PRO-01.LOL


PS.sorry for my bad english.

The handle shape seems off the alignment but that is common.

All the photos are not loading for me.

[Trayanee]

The images are not loading for me as well. I have seen the blade emerge on princett/ali though. Hope it proves to be worthy. I wanted to try the heterogeneous pro 13s, but sadly my OCD doesnt allow me to play a blade without lens :-D

[yogi_bear]

I still see the pics. Are you using apps?

[Kuba Hajto]

I am not using an app. Images are probably still in your computers cache. That is why you probably see them.

[Kuba Hajto]

Looks like the core is thinner. Is it exact Viscaria copy then?

I have not try this blade yet. In general V14-pro thickness about 6.0 mm so Pro-01 `may be the same thickness with Viscaria(around 5.8mm)

[lodro]

if it plays well, it is good value for money, like most Yinhe and Sanwei blades

[thomas.pong]

Thank you for the details thus far BeTWO. Good looking blade!

Let us know how the 2 blades compare in terms of playing characteristics once you've tried the Pro-01.

Which store did you purchase it from on Aliexpress?

[Kuba Hajto]

Also the core material looks different. Less porous. From my experience the more porous the core is the more I like it. I don't know how it affects the blade in non subjective way.

I will update again when I have to try it. I bought from "Too Fun Store". When I had buy I saw only this one store have it but now I saw 2-3 store have this blade.I'm not sure some store the handle is look different with plastic tag not the same my blade with laser cut handle.

I will update again when I try. dude.

[Kuba Hajto]

should i get one of these as a beginner or is it not worth it for the moment?

You should not get one of these as a beginner. If you really really really want to get a carbon blade because you really really really really want it, DHS301 / Yinhe 970XX will be much more controllable.

EDIT:
Addendum 1
I recommend inner carbon only because it has a bling factor of carbon blade, and for a beginner it is hard enough to trigger the inner carbon so it will not disrupt the progress too much. That was my reasoning.

[thomas.pong]

As a beginner, best to stick to a 5-ply all-wood blade in the ALL+/OFF- spectrum for at least the first 5 years of playing.

This blade is gorgeous. Unfortunately those 93g are a deal breaker for me

It's 93 +/- 3g. Is 90g deal breaker too?

[thomas.pong]

I'm sure they are at least a few in the ~85-87g range.
