I would opt for something that's at least somewhere close to your old Li Ping Kitex. Hinoki outer with inner fiber to me screams Joola Roskopf Emotion or its new name, the Proline One.
Yinhe Pro 01 is something else entirely. Koto outer, ALC directly underneath. It's a good blade though, I can't part with it yet but I can't play it competitively either. Can't recommend it in this phase.

i wouldn't like to go for a similar blade beacuse i dont think it was the best for me, i like outer blades like viscaria, felt alot better, that why im going for yinhe 01

In that case I just don't understand why you're asking for advice. You seem to know what you want perfectly fine, so why not just get i

i want to hear different opinion on different kinds of rubbers and blade, there are so much viscaria clones and h3 clones you cant really know what is the best beacuse all of the different opinions , my best chance is to just get what most people reccomend for a specific kind of rubber or blade like vis clone, hybrid rubber, tensor alternative...

by reading your threads it just sounds like you would really just like to play with a fast and "cool" blade, and i get that. many lower level players asking for setup advice here, but after a few appropriate recommendations it turns out that actually they would just love to get a viscaria with hurricanes.

To be fair I understand what you're saying but viscaria is really my favorite blade, there is just something so magical about it, you get that crisp feeling and speed but also it has lots of control, it's probably the most balance blade I tried and it's truly amazing.

Hurricane is just a legendary rubber and there is a reason 99% of Chinese players playing it on forehand, I only got to play with it ones because Chinese rubber aren't popular at all here in my country, mostly butterfly victas tibhar and some other companys

Best advice mostly is the most boring one but you could play with similar equipment that you used is the best thing you can do to your pocket. I think you should buy something quickly and start training. For example: my brain starts to fantasy about other blades and rubber when I don't train. Safest thing is your old setup. So start training as soon as possible :)

If you still want to buy cool stuff, don't go with cheap clones, buy the one you dreamed(!) of. Else, you are still going to want to buy the original one.

Can confirm. Have a great Pro 01, still curious to get a Viscaria, but I know full well it's not going to be good for my game.
