Yinhe Pro 01 vs Sanwei 75 ALC

[joshmak10]

I currently have a Viscaria and I am going to get a backup blade just in case anything happens to it. I don’t want to spend the money for a second Viscaria, so I’m thinking of either the Pro 01 or 75 ALC since they are said to be cheap Viscaria clones. Which one is better? I currently use H3N Blue and D80

75 ALC is pretty good, but it has larger head than Viscaria and it is thicker and stiffer. If you're not looking for a exact clone, you may like it.

Pro 01 is closer to the real viscaria.

I like the real Vis, and Pro 01 is easier to access for me (Pro 01 is on PROTT while 75 is not) so this is promising to hear. Anyone else got an input?

I play with the 75. It's nothing like a Viscaria, but a very solid blade. Very consistent, very stable blade. It has way less feeling, it's more linear (I don't feel the same 'second gear' or 'catapult' effect). High pitched, stiffer. Written down it sounds bad, but it's exaggerated, I still love it and can do anything with it. Great for direct play, especially for close-medium distance rallies.

I have experience with the 75 (inner) and Pro 01. My two cents:
Pro 01 is a good blade. Handle is great, it's nice and snappy, and the feeling is pretty close to an all-wood blade (which I really didn't expect).
Soft touch game is good enough, I still need to adjust a bit.
I'm playing with H3 neo (unboosted) on FH and ak47 red on BH and for me it feels like a good pairing.

Sanwei 75 inner... It has potential, but as it turns out mine was cracked in the core. Feeling was very muted (maybe due to that) but most importantly, it is apparently not a product meant for the international market. Which means, the ones you can get your hands on... Where did they come from? Mine certainly missed the correct exit of the QC department.
The 75 series are all non international products. The Sanwei representative here on TTD even says it's not a Sanwei product.

So if that's your dilemma, I know what to pick.
