can’t believe i only found this website now…. i’ll have to reconsider all of my choices

He probably wants to have 2 rackets setup so he can compare the flex and speed.
Forget the yasaka, get the Yinhe Earth and save yourself money.

Look in the used market first. A lot of 5 plies are usually on the market. That way you can have your blade for 50% of the cost.

personally i don’t like used items but for sweden extra i found an offer for only 52 dollars while on aliexpress i see people selling for over 75

If I had the Earth and the Sweden, i would probably play the Earth and never touch the sweden.
Furthermore, you can get the Earth with 2 ak47 for 45 dollars, much better deal than the Yasaka.

It is your own decision. Not mine. I am just bringing some arguments to the table. You have to make the judgment. Yasaka SE, SC, Butterfly Primorac Off- all wood, Chinese 5 plies, are all more than good enough to do the job. The Chinese blades have the worse build quality and are not as smooth and nice feeling, but they are cheaper. Get whatever you can get for cheap.
Also try as many blades in the club as possible before making your own decision.

i’ve always been indecisive plus im trying to gather as much info as i can before buying

If you dont mind spending a few more dollars, then Yasaka is fine. Go for it.
Personally I think the Yinhe build quality is just as good (i have the yasaka Ma Lin as well as some Yinhe blades, but havnet touched yasaka in years)
With the Earth, i think its less of a slowdown from your current blade, but still give you more flex. Yasaka will give you flex, but might be slower than the Earth. Earth is also supposedly a clone of Nittaku Violin, another famous blade used by Ma Long.

Are you saying the Sweden with 2 pieces of rubber is $52 total? Thats a pretty good deal.Â
Or are you saying its $52 just for the blade?

I agree about the Yinhe build quality (maybe more in recent years, but still…).
However be careful :
Earth E1 is koto-spruce-ayous
Earth E3 is I think the closest to a YSE "clone" (well, limba-spruce-ayous vs. anegre-limba-ayous)
Earth E4 is the said Violin "clone" (i.e., white ash-white ash-kiri)
E2 and E5 I have no idea…
Anyway there are many Yinhe Earth blades

Thanks for clarification. The E4 does look beautiful.Â
So, if its $52 for Yasaka and rubber, then thats a good deal, you should go for it. Shipping is probably faster as well.Â
Otherwise, get the Earth combo, they will cut and glue it for you.Â

Really? The printing on the Earth 1 looks a bit "odd" but this is just because I sand all blades with 400 grit. The top ply of the Sweden Extra though is not just looking like as if it's made from two pieces...
