Where to find info on Yinhe blade composition? ?

[lwcheah]

After a hiatus of 30+ years, I am returning to TT to train my grandkids. I was so shocked and impressed by the range and varieties available today 😅 I have shortlisted a couple of Yinhe blades for them but cannot find composition info. The blades in question are Yinhe Uranus-3 and n4s (both 7 ply wood) I am also looking at Palio Energy 03 as a carbon blade. I hope to get them by Christmas 😅. Just buying one out of the 3. 😉

Hope another kindered TT spirit here can point me to the right direction to get more info. Thank you.

If they are beginners and you want to stick with Yinhe I would go with the E3. It is a 5-ply Limba/Spruce/../Spruce/Limba blade and has good control. I would not go with a 7-ply at all (much stiffer, less feedback, heavier, thicker), these days inner ALC + 5 ply is better I think (e.g. DHS B2). Outer ALC is too fast (e.g. Yinhe Pro-01) IMHO. I would go with Limba top layer, not Koto (harder). I am not sure Yinhe has a good Limba top / inner ALC option compared to the DHS B2 (cheaper version of the Ma Long blade) - There is the Yinhe M202 but I haven't played it myself, I think this is the only Limba top / inner ALC blade in their arsenal.
The 970xxA is Koto top, good control, basically the successor to the Pro Feeling. I get better feeling for service with Limba top though.
I have been using Yinhe Moon medium black for f/h and Yinhe Moon soft red for b/h which works for me, the step up would be Nittaku FastArc G1 forehand, DHS GoldArc soft backhand.
I am not playing sticky rubbers and I am not boosting, I think for kids I would stay away from sticky rubbers and boosting.

I have the V-14 Pro, and I don't find it too fast, but I find it overly stiff and it throws very low.

Thank you for the feedback on 5 ply. Yes, they are beginners, I will look into the Yinhe range again in the local TT shop here.👍🙂

Unfortunately, the TT shop only carries limited range of blades , mostly factory premade fully assembled bats

I've played with Palio Energy 3, it's not friendly at all for beginners, the 5+4 structure made the blade too hard that it's difficult to feel the feedback vibration. If you're looking for 5 ply blades then maybe try Yinhe N10s or Loki Violent V5

I totally agree with you about using 5-ply blades for beginners, but I strongly disagree about not using sticky rubbers. Just sticky hybrid rubber in my opinion is very important for beginners. It will give you control and quickly teach you how to properly create spin and invest in a punch. Especially now, almost all the new products from the leading manufacturers of overlays are just hybrid sticky rubber bands. Watch Dan's latest video with Darko. Only after using the K3 hybrid on the forehand he move up to the 6th position in the world. The latest novelties from Butterfly are all with a sticky surface. What can we say about the Chinese team, which has been dominating forehand with sticky rubbers for several decades. Regarding the booster and the classic sticky Chinese rubbers, I agree, probably at the initial stage this is useless, but now there are many decent sticky hybrids that play better with this ball.
