No I haven't. But I can vouch for the yinhe pro 01. It's a very nice viscaria clone
Yeah but let's be clear here, Yinhe is an established brand, and the Pro line is no entry level stuff either.
You can't compare it to "knockoff" makers like Stuor. Tbh I wouldn't pay more than 15-20 for that.

I don’t know what I want. Maybe, I want that in the future, but that also holds true for a large number of different blades. This is an experiment after all. I might hit the jackpot!
You will be alright and positively surprised at the quality you will get.
There are a lot of snobs around that will always try to make you believe that unless you spend hundreds of dollars on a pro blade you made the wrong decision.

I will not even ask you what level you play the game but for every decent club player and even local tournament-players the quality that can be had from aliexpress is plenty good enough.

I don't know about the long lasting quality of my new blade. Nor do I have any comparisons to make, since I have never had a blade before, only had them sent assembled to me before.

But what I can say is that it was a great feeling to hold the blade in my hand. Did not appear cheap to me in any way. Smooth, soft, cool, light, well balanced... Packaging was good as well, making me wonder how any one can make a profit of selling this for 27 dollars (like they do in Malaysia).

And with my new rubber glued on, Andro Hexer Grip SFX 1.7 mm sponge, a pure joy to hit the ball a few times over the net. More spin, faster, more control, I never would have believed the difference could be so big from one set up to another.

I can see myself play with this setup for a long time and my urge to try something else is completely gone.

The blade name is 2024 HuIESON Blütenkirsche Aurora Shield FL Long Handle Hexagonal and is an 5 + 2 Ayous Ayous Arylate Carbon Paulownia.
