Definitely both Sword VSea and HD Long5.
Sword VSea, Sword HD Long5, Yinhe Pro01.
Good day to you sir,
Which one is the most flexible blade out of that list ?
Thank you sir.

75 pbo with rubber Hurricane 40d and 38d. stable blade, ZLC is very nice. The arc is long and high. Clears net very well. Heavy weight is noticable but balace is very good.

Dhs 301 (not X version, X is too stiff and fast, regular 301 has superb control)
Yinhe V14 pro / pro 01 (had both, liked v14 pro a bit more due its linearity)
Sanwei Fextra 7. Relatively stiff, but controllable 7 ply blade
Sword 309 def. Medium flex, good for
Modern defense

What about stuor blades? Want to buy my first carbon blade for casual play, in doubt between sanwei 75, pro 01 and stuor viscaria or fzd alc

Stuor blades are very good. Especially I really love the Stuor Harimoto zlc clone.

How is the Lin Yun Yu Stuor or Lemuria clone?
Do we know about comparison to original?
Or performance in general

729 F-1 = inner carbon, koto, limba/ayous, 3k carbon, kiri core, light (less than 80g possible), inexpensive
729 Blue Arylate = outer carbon, koto, alc, ayous, kiri core, Viscaria structure but slower and spinnier although they are 6mm thick and usually weigh 90g+
729 Yellow Arylate = inner carbon, HL5 structure
Not yet tested: 729 Blue Advance, Viscaria structure, 5.8 mm and 729 Yellow KLC, 6mm, HL5 structure but KLC instead of ALC
Both the F-1 and Blue Arylate are better balanced/feel less head heavy even with heavy rubbers than the blades I had/have from Sanwei.

Is this red one the Harimoto ZLC clone: https://aliexpress.com/item/4000315567575.html ?
Or is the blue one the ZLC clone? https://aliexpress.com/item/4001063234467.html ?

I agree, have had played with the long 5 clone. It is not nearly as fast and super flexy, but has a lot of control. The only downside is the extremely thin handle, I had to use overgrip

Yeah that looks to be the case. Too bad it's not the other way around since the Apolonia is going to be on sale for super cheap at $28.

See the way the photos look all shiny and beautiful, I can tell you that when I got my blade it literally looked just like that. It is really a finely constructed blade, perfect handle, perfect weight and balance, great hitting feeling, great performance.
Even after all this time I still consider this my best blade.

You've really sold me on this one. Hopefully it will also go on sale too.
Will probably also get the Sanwei 75 Inner alongside and see if I like koto or limba more as an outer layer. Both blades seem to be high value propositions.

I think those are both good choices. I might get the Koto surface inner ZLC blade from Loki

Loki Arthur Pro ZLC? I had that open in a tab too for consideration.
I wonder if all of these blades are coming from the same factory. Loki, Stuor, and Sanwei (at least the 75 series) all have that same "bullet shaped" gold handle insert.

I don't think same factory. My Stuor box says Yangzhou, China. But I think it kinda does make sense to make the TSMC of TT blades, the same way ESN is kinda the TSMC of rubbers for all companies.
Yeah Arthur Pro ZLC. Looks like it could be quite good...and I guess I'm curious how it will compare to my Stuor ZLC, given the Koto surface instead of Limba.
