Upgrading F3 Pro

[schrodingerskoalabear]

Hello,

I have been playing with my Sanwei F3 Pro with Big Dipper 39 (FH) and Moonspeed 12 (Medium-hard) for the last 4 months. My FH has improved during that time.

I like the setup but having tried some more H3Ns from a few clubmates, I wanted to get a sheet (39 OS) along with an extra slightly faster blade. I want a setup which is similar to F3 Pro but slightly faster at a decent price; my research on the forum has narrowed my options to two Yinhe 05 or DHS Fang B2.

What are people's experiences with these two blades? Is there a third option +/- around the same price range?

Both these blades are good. But when you say slightly faster, they truly are just a tick faster. You may not find much speed up.

I recommend Sanwei 75 inner. Very good feeling and performance and speed and spin. Very comfortable

Is that a little bit harder/less flexible than the F3?

I think its less flexy than F3, thats why its faster too.

But sanwei 75 inner itself is a very dwelly, bitey blade. So its just great

Try the Sanwei Hynover or the Paramid, if you don't mind a bit of vibration. If you have large hands you may want the straight handle version of Hynover. I liked both the blades. They are both fast and most importantly controllable for me. Apparently the Paramid is the official upgrade for the F3 Pro.

I don't have the Sanwei F3, but I have the Yinhe Pro 05 and the DHS B2 and B2X. I doubt that the F3 is slower than the other blades. From the Megaspin.net pictures, the second layer of the F3 seems to be spruce, and this makes the blade fast (I have a couple of 5-ply blades with spruce 2nd layer). Also the first layer is Ayous which is faster / harder than the Limba of the Pro 05 and the B2(X). My Pro 05 is slower than the B2(X). So, I would play someone else's Pro 05 or B2(X) before buying it. I have better control with the Pro 05 (KLC inner) compared to the B2(X).

Is your H3 Neo 39 OS or BS? How has your experience with the rubber been like on the Pro 05?

I used Sanwei F3Pro, Yinhe Pro 05, Dhs FBB2 and many others. Sanwei blades are inconsistency. Some are heavy, some light weight, some are hard and some are soft, but if you want something faster than F3Pro, Fang Bo B2 or Yinhe Pro 05 are not really faster blades. I recommend Yinhe Pro 01, is better than Pro 05.

Pro 05 is a beast if you are a forehand oriented looper/ powerlooper like me. It gives strong and powerful powerloop with massive amount of spin. Can't say much about F3 Pro since I have never had one but I did play with Paramid and honestly, Pro 05 is slower on lower gear but better when you put power into it.
