Yinhe M102

Wow, that extremely good blade is a big improvement over the Yihne v14 pro. Excellent for looping: faster than v14 (about +30%) but with the same dwell time. It’s good enough for smashing; in this case, v14 and m102 are quite comparable in performance. Great combination with slow rubber like Hurricane 3 because the blade, despite being so fast, is also quite flexible and compensates for the hard sponge of Chinese rubber. This blade can be a good choice even for hard European rubber like Tibhar Hybrid and Dignics 09 °C. Too fast for tensor rubber like Tenergy.

Review

This is an excellent blade! My FL handle blade weighs 86 grams, and it has good workmanship and finish. The handle is an average size and comfortable to hold.

I paired it with Xiom Vega X 2.0mm on both sides, and my total setup weight is 187 grams. This is a 55 euro blade that plays and feels like a blade twice its price or even more! However, it is not easy to find or find information about. I suppose if we were to search in Chinese, it would be easier.

According to my understanding, it has a similar construction to the Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit. It is a Koto-PLC-Limba-Kiri-Limba-PLC-Koto structure (PLC stands for Polyethilene-Carbon).

It is an offensive carbon blade but not super fast with good control. It feels to me like an OFF / OFF- blade.

Review text:

A little faster than my V14PRO, weight 89g, 1507 Hz, there is vibration, but on the V14PRO it is much larger.
The handle is more convenient for me and it is slightly larger than the V14PRO handle.
Overall, a great blade.
