How did your friends compare the blue BTY alc to the DHS? Most BTY are outer, and most DHS are inner. And the BTY inners appear to be much slower.

Yes. It was against inneforce alc. I don’t know if it was ALC.S or just the regular.

i don’t know the difference between the two

Also the seller said that they ran out of the inventory of the previous version with FB face on it. This is the current version.

Maybe DHS was contractually obligated to pay 50 cents for each use of FB's image, so they just decided not to use it anymore.

It could be that they are working on phasing out Fang Bo’s line of blades and making room for LJK, WCQ and SYS.

And so, making the pictures of fang Bo is no longer worth it because they have the trophies in abundance from the b2x.

I would love to see LJK, WCQ blade from DHS. But have a feeling they would be a lot more expensive than FB.

I've ordered Fang Bo ALC from AliExpress as well, will post the picture when it arrives.
I personally don't mind not having Fang Bo in the lens on the handle, black lense looks solid.

We wouldn’t truly know. I reckon they’ll just do HL5X with their special lenses. I think SYS is said to use national HL5x, LJK and WCQ are speculated that they also use it.

Cool, look forward to your photos and comments.

And how is your Yinhe Pro 01? This is a blade that I want to test as well.

It's actually awesome, but different feeling from limba structured blade. So far my best tournament results are actually achieved with Pro 01. Here's a quick video of my best plays.

You can actually find some videos on the same channel where I play HL5, but I am much better at understanding the technique now and can make more clear conclusions on the blade these days.

Michael Zhuang · Mar 31, 2022

Great plays!

How do you find the speed of pro 01? I tested sanwei 75 and yinhe v14 pro. 75 is more flex, v14 pro more speed.

Im guessing pro 01 is more similar to 75

I haven't tried Sanwei 75. I found V14 Pro to be fast and less controllable, but it was also 95g...I personally like my Pro 01 (which is 90g) more. It's a bit flexier and touch plays are better.

Can you show the side view. Is the carbon layer the same white/black color as the B2 original?

Mine DHS Fang Bo arrived.
You know what, I think since Fang Bo didn't show any good results for many years,I think DHS just rebranded this blade into DHS "Bo" series. Fang Bo is forgotten by DHS

The pictures I attach don't show up, so here are links to imgur:

Good day to you sir, could you please compare the flexible and speed of DHS Fang Bo and V14 Pro and Pro 01, which one had better flexible and which one had better speed ?

Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

this one will take awhile since I'm recovering after surgery, unfortunately. I will happily apply the same rubbers on both and compare.

Michael Zhuang · Apr 1, 2022

I will test the B2 in the next few days. I can compare with my other blades such as V14 Pro, CC, TB ZLC, 75 ALC, Ma Lin Extra Offensive.

My guess is that it is most similar to the CC, but we will see.

The Fang Bo B2 and B2X blades have been reviewed at the tabletennis11 blog, see this link. I just got my B2X from princett.com and (after varnishing since it is a Limba top blade, and light sanding of the edges) put Yinhe Moon medium on the forehand and soft on the backhand. These are slower rubbers than say Tenergy or FastArc G1 which for me is good because this is a fast blade and FastArc G1 would be too fast for me on this blade. Mine came in at 91.3g, 1442Hz, 6.1mm. It has a really good touch due to the soft Limba top layer (better touch than the Koto top blades I own such as Yinhe Pro Feeling or 970xxA). Also it is very well balanced, it doesn't feel heavy. It is slower than the external carbon blades I have like the Yinhe Pro 01.
This blade is very fun to play. The rubbers work well for me (~1413 USATT rating). The handle is a little smaller than e.g. the Sanwei HC5S so I put a grip band on.
With the slower rubbers chopping is not impossible although this is more of a closer to the table attacking blade maybe like the Yinhe Purple Dragon (7-ply) or Pro 5V (walnut top 5ply). Compared to the Ma Lin Extra Offensive (walnut top 5ply) it does have a softer touch (Limba vs. Walnut).
My conclusion is that this is a great blade for the price ($43 at princett + shipping, plus $10.50 per side for the Yinhe Moon). However, you should varnish the blade before applying the rubbers and only sand off the wood (don't sand into the PITH Carbon film, it results in a hard edge). Also this is a fast blade (maybe OFF+) so before playing tournaments some practice at the robot is needed to get the pushes into control.
I haven't played the B2 so note the comments in the TT11 review about the B2X being more forgiving than the B2.

Michael Zhuang · Apr 4, 2022

I'm a little confused, you said its a fast blade, and you said its OFF+, but you also said its slower than Pro 01.

I don't think Pro 01 is considered a very fast blade. I have Sanwei 75 and V14 Pro to compare.
