yinhe d715

 

[Topspinslinger]

Yinhe 970xx Alc, innerforce layer alc with a soft feeling (like harimoto) They weight around 93 grams, so if you like that i'd say that is a good option.

Has anybody tested his findings? According to his tests, the Harimoto ALC is significantly faster than the HL5.

HL5 is probably the slowest carbon blade I've played with, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Have you played with the old or the newer 2022 version?

Honestly I just can't find a blade with a better combination of catch and rebound. HL5 catches the ball nearly as well, but doesn't launch the ball with as much power.

Harimoto ALC seems stiffer and doesn't catch the ball as well.

Well... somewhere inbetween SK7 and Harimoto anyway. It's not a wide room even if it looks like that on the graph.

yinhe d715

Old, both the 2014-16 and the 2016-22 versions. I haven't tried the 2022+ ones yet.

What’s the difference between the pre 2016 and pro 2016?
