Yinhe Pro 01 vs Stuor Vis

[hiquema]

Hello! I'm looking for a Viscaria clone and I've seen a lot of posts about the Yinhe Pro 01. Has anyone tried or own a Stuor Vis and could give me a comparison between them? Thanks!
Is it worth paying a little more for the Pro 01?

I'm considering this Stuor Vis model:

I had the Pro 01. It's basically decent, but still a bit stiffer than the real viscaria. The thing I dislike most about it is that the head is small and the handle is slippery.

I never tried the Stuor VIS, but I tried the Stuor FZD ALC. It was definitely on the stiffer side, so I prefer the Pro 01. Pro 01 had overall better feeling, a bit more flex.

Eu tinha a Pro 01. É basicamente decente, mas ainda um pouco mais rígida que a viscaria original. O que eu menos gosto nela é que a cabeça é pequena e o cabo é escorregadio.

Nunca experimentei o Stuor VIS, mas experimentei o Stuor FZD ALC. Ele era definitivamente mais rígido, então prefiro o Pro 01. O Pro 01 teve uma sensação geral melhor, um pouco mais flexível.

Tks !!!

The head on Pro 01 is 157x150 like a Viscaria and the handle is a smooth, absorbing fineline but nothing special material wise. Similar to most Donic handles in material.
Mine has a good flex but I've heard multiple accounts of people who have pretty stiff ones.
It's not pretending to be a Viscaria though, other than the hint of blue on the handle this thing is really it's own blade. It's direct, and plays like you can expect from this kind of structure.

Stuor, I can't say anything about. All I've read is widely varying opinions on Stuor blades which just makes me think they have widely varying properties.

I think the choice is, do you buy an obvious ripoff, or not? You can probably tell what my opinion is.

Not sure about the smaller headsize on the pro 01 because I owned three and they are 157x150. Yinhe QC is quite good I.m.o.
Perhaps TB got a bad one?

I have two Lemuria blades, very good quality for cheap. Innerforce layer ZLC and Dhs w968 But not on the playing quality level of the real stuff.

No No, mine was quite good quality. My Pro 01 is also 157x150. I just mean I don't like that 157 size.

I think the Sanwei 75 is bigger. And I think Stuor is bigger as well

The Stuor in the link is specified as 156x150. The Sanwei 75 inner I had wasn't bigger but the shape was more like a Clipper, the wings were different

I had a copy of the Stuor Viscaria a while ago, I bought it mostly out of curiosity, since at the time I was playing with the V14 and didn't plan on changing. If I remember correctly, it felt a bit softer than my blade, but it was a pretty good blade for the price, with good control and speed. I do not advocate for this one, just sharing my impressions, but bear in mind it was a few years ago. I've never played with Viscaria or Pro 01, so I can't compare them directly.

The Stuor Vis I played with had a higher second speed than the Pro 01. The heaviest and toughest was the Viscaria Mishima.

A mate of mine went through 3 Stuor Viscaria clones and his third one made him move to a different blade.

His first and second one were identical to each other and both blades had to be replaced after a year of playing with broken edges. They seem pretty soft/easily damaged, idk if the Viscaria has that too, but it is noticable.

His third one he ordered was wildly different to the previous two. Sounded completely differently, was much harder in touch, frequency when bouncing a ball on it was about 100Hz higher than his previous one.

He switched to a different blade now, but the inconsistent quality of Stuor made him start looking for that switch. Then again, for the price Stuor sells it's blades at, I don't think you can expect the same quality control as you would expect with name brands.

I believe in that regard, Yinhe is better as an established brand. I had the regular V-14 and now I have the V-14 Pro, both are good blades.
Still, I’m a big fan of Stuor blades. The quality feels great for the price. I currently play with Nobilis ZLC and also own the Hinoki ALC Blue. I had their CNF clone, but sold it since the handle was too thin for my larger hands. But yes, I agree QC seems to be the main downside with Stuor blades.

How stiff is the FZD ALC in your opinion? I'm actually considering getting that one, as I like stiffer blades but I find Nobilis ZLC a tad too stiff for my taste. I’m also looking at their Harimoto ZLC.
How is the handle on the FZD ALC (Harimoto ZLC), is it more on the thin or thick side?
