Yinhe pro 13s, good concept but is it worth to try ?

[BeTWO]

I saw in aliexpress.This blade is inner KLC fo FH(it claim this structure form Long 5) and outer ALC for BH(Structure form viscaria). Do you think about this blade?

Everything from Yinhe is worth trying.

I hear a lot of good reviews about yinhe. However i bought the v14 pro with moon and after 2 trainings sessions the wood started to chip (hadnt hit the table or anything, the boosted moon wanting to curl tore apart the wood veneers).
Dont know if i just had a bad version or what, but something to take into consideration.

Moon non pro is not worth trying. Lacks catapult in my opinion.

Some players really hate catapult effects on their rubber.

Also moon pro also turns it into a tacky rubber, which i was not looking for.

Pro is a different beast. It's semi tacky, different sponge. Really good one.

That looks like a really interesting blade. I like the concept.

I've been using several Yinhe blades, and they have all been good. If you'll try Yinhe Moon Pro, see to get the "Hard" version and not the "Medium" one. The "Hard" comes domed out of the package, and the "Medium" doesn't and is no good at all.

Hello guys,

i´ve ordered the blade a couple weeks ago from Aliexpress (deeplin store, very good store!).

Due to the pandemic i have no oportunity to review.

First impression:

• outer alc: pitch sound from v14 is a little bit higher than pro 13s
• outer alc: speed seems to be identical
• outer alc: pro 13s feels softer than v14
• outer alc vs inner klc: noticeable difference! inner feels a bit softer

I didn´t like the V14 because it felt too stiff for me.
13s feels more softer or flexible? and overall the quality feels better.
The handle is also a little bit thicker. Almost identical to the old Hurricane King blade. Thiker than newer DHS blades like PG 12.

Also i have a couple of pictures for you.

Thanks for sharing. The more I think the more I like the idea. What is the weight

Does it also have limba on the FH side?

Thank, olega12 It look very good finished. I think V14 stiffer because Kevlar vs ALC.

It look like Koto.

 

[olega12]

The wood weighs 88-89 g and both outer veneers are made of Koto.


Finish is really good, I will sand the edges above the handle a little bit.


Size: 15,7x15 cm and thickness: ~ 6mm

Impatienly waiting for your impressions

I'm also waiting
In the meantime I can share some information I found about this blade.
According to princett, blade is: Koto (0,8mm) - Ayous - KLC - Ayous (core) - Ayous - ALC - Koto (0,6mm)
So it is H301 + Viscaria construction I think.

I also found some chinese reviews of this blade (I can not post links yet, you can find them by searching "银河Pro13s bilibiili.com"; text one with comparison with 11s and 12s and video one about also d706 and 970xxk)
Using google translate it seems that (probably )
*BH side is comparable with viscaria and has low throw angle
*FH is similar to H301X, has good control, has that "eating the ball" (I forgot better term for that...) feeling

There is also (apart from PRO-11s with spruce) a PRO-12s blade that has limba as external FH ply and is only for stationary sale.

-- edit

It seems that the creator of one chinese review translated it to english and uploaded it to youtube. You can find it by searching "milkyway pro13s" - channel Table Tennis Gan (good channel btw, it has some insteresting reviews of interesting blades like viscaria gold or tenergy 19).

It also happened that I bought one Blade frequency test shows value of around 1410 Hz (88g weight)
