I'm not sure. Every seller has it listed as Koto. Also the limba outer zlc is supposed the W81.
If Sanwei F3 Pro is a must try blade, does that make the newer Sanwei Paramid a must try also?
The Sanwei site seems to suggest it's the same blade with a new aesthetic and possible better finishing.
Do you have playing impression on Pro 05 - using Chinese rubbers on fh & bh?
Not sure if I asked this on different trend but -
Pretty much exactly what I said, F3 pro is somewhat flexier and has more dwell time. Its slightly less snappy in response time, but still gives plenty of speed. Both are perfectly fine with chinese tacky rubber on both sides.
Great! might try a b2prov FH with big dipper 38 BH on a yinhe pro 05. Thanks!
A mate of mine plays with the Pro 05 with Jupiter 3 39d on the FH and Rasanter R45 on the BH. He really likes this combo. My impression was the ZLC inner layout offers a lot of vibration ... a bit too much for my liking.
That makes sense. I recently got the Sanwei 75 inner, which is the same composition as the Yinhe 970alc.
The blade is very flexible and feels rather soft. I prefer to use IT with chinese tacky rubbers, because tensor rubbers are too bouncy and uncontrolable on this blade. For me the best option for FH is Yinhe Jupiter ll 40'. With this rubber the feeling is very soft, very long dwel time and the spin is very good. For bh i like D09C, but i think most popoular chinese rubbers like 729 Battle II, III, Hurricane lll or Sanwei Target National will work good with this blade.
For me Yinhe 970xxA has little dead feeling, is stiff and somehow hard too control, even in comparison with faster blades like Viscaria, Yinhe Pro 01 or V16 etc... . I was disappointed especialy because it's one of the best looking blade, handle is also perfect, high level of finnish and workmanship is not reflected in the game.
Interesting... I was tossing up between the Yinhe 970xx-a and the Sanwei 75 inner alc (similar to my pro feeling that I really like). Sounds like the latter might be better based on your comments (its cheaper as well). Am also interested in the Sanwei Paramid, however there are not many comments out there on that blade.
Ah ha... I have the v14 Pro and I plan to test them with the same FH rubber (Jupter 3). So I will know for sure next month and report to this thread.
I don't like soft ESN rubbers on Carbon blades, because are bouncy is short pushes and serve receiving, also easy to bottom out. Flicking and looping is very easy and effortless, but with SFX ball pops up too much. I would go for Rasanter R42 , but I prefer R45, Xiom Omega V Euro, 2.0. For me, this hardness and thickness is compromise between control, spin, speed and weight.
