Yinhe 970XX ALC vs KLC

[Haito]

Has anyone happen to try both of the blades? How do they compare? (for example to yinhe pro feeling or DHS H301)

 

[yogi_bear]

Yup. Alc version is faster than klc. Alc version is also heavy at 93 to 95 grams but doea not feel heavy due to balance of the blade. Think of a timo boll spirit but a few levels faster. I think this is as fast as an amultart.

Thank you very much for your input. When you mentioned:

Were you talking about alc version or both of them?

 

[yogi_bear]

Alc version only.

 

[Haito]

So where would you place KLC version?

Hi yogi, what's the composition of this 970XX blade? And does it feel solid?

 

[yogi_bear]

Koto alc limba kiri if i am not mistaken. It is very solid and medium stiff. Felt like the yinhe pro feeling but faster. Also, the blade handle looked like the Nexy Zealot.

Wasn't it a carbon inner blade? And the outer layer of the 970xx A looks to be limba. Am I wrong?

I'm not try H301 but I used to have Fang Bo B2 same construction except outer ply is limba.Not solid feel I think it have very good feeling and control is very good too. Now I'm intersting Yinhe M202 inner PLC carbon with limba outer ply.

 

[yogi_bear]

Oh yes it is an inner alc, Koto limba alc with ayous or kiri core. 7 ply and at 6.2mm thickness.

 

[Haito]

Wasn't inner carbon/composite suppose to be slower and more controllable than outer carbon/composite blades? Or am I just stuck in stereotype and misinformation limbo?

 

[yogi_bear]

Not necessarily true. Although, innerforce blades are slower there are exceptions. The azxi ice cream is a fast one. Too many factors to consider.

 

[Haito]

Thank you very much for your input. It clarified a lot. To be honest I was just looking for a DHS H301 with bigger handle within similar price bracket. As far as I understood your reasoning Yinhe 970XX would me much faster than said DHS blade. I think my best bet would be then Yinhe Pro Feeling, or maybe some Innerforce. I will try to track some owners who may be so kind to let me a go with them. I will probably get back with more questions once I acquire some first hand experience.

EDIT: Now I am even more confused isn't calling inner carbon/composite blade an innerfoce same as calling tenergy tensor? I thought innerforce was a lineup of blades from butterfly..

 

[yogi_bear]

I think i should have worded it correctly to innerforce-type blades

can you compare those blades?

 

[TeoTeoTeo]

Oh yes it is an inner alc, Koto limba alc with koto or kiri core. 7 ply and at 6.2mm thickness.

Is this not a limba/ayous core? I suppose the outer ply looks like koto

 

[yogi_bear]

Possible also it is ayous core. The discoloration on my blade made it a bit confusing.

 

[yogi_bear]

I made a mistake on the koto core. Nobody uses koto as core. It should be ayous or kiri. My mistake.

 

[Haito]

So to sum up. It has koto top ply, then god and yinhe knows what, then ALC and then maybe ayous? That sounds a lot like DHS hurricane 301 to me. (I know that material thickness plays a very big factor here) Wonder if someone has access to both that 970xx and dhs h301 and could tell if they were similar.
