Blade description:
The Yinhe Pro 01 is a high-performance table tennis blade that draws comparisons to the renowned Viscaria blade, making it an attractive option for players seeking a quality offensive blade at a more budget-friendly price. Crafted with a 5-ply construction, the Pro 01 combines a blend of Koto, Limba, Samba, and Kiri woods, resulting in a well-balanced feel that offers both speed and control, perfect for aggressive play. The inclusion of Aramid-carbon (ALC) enhances its durability and overall performance.
Weighing around 90 grams and featuring a thickness of 5.7 mm, the Pro 01 sits comfortably in the medium-weight category, ensuring stability without sacrificing speed. Its stiffness rating of 5.6 provides a good balance between power and sensitivity, allowing players to execute precise shots with confidence. The blade’s flexibility offers decent energy return on loops and drives while maintaining control, particularly during fast exchanges close to the table.
For players who prioritize spin and power, the Pro 01 is an excellent choice, offering sufficient speed without compromising on accuracy. It has been noted for its larger sweet spot and favorable ball feel, making it suitable for both intermediate and advanced players looking for a reliable looping blade. Alternatives such as the Yinhe 970xxA might be considered by those seeking similar characteristics with variations in error tolerance. Overall, the Yinhe Pro 01 stands out as a fantastic option for those who wish to emulate the Viscaria experience without the accompanying cost.

This paddle offers a lot of value for its price. It is definitely very fast, so you should be prepared to play quickly.
Generating spin isn’t difficult. The throw angle is low-to-middle.
Blocks are exceptionally fast and can be unexpected for opponents. It also encourages you to attack constantly!

Hi, I own a Butterfly Tiago Apolonia ZLC and I bought this Yinhe Pro 01 blade around a year ago out of curiosity, wanting to see if it was worth playing with.
In the beginning, I was a little skeptical because of the sound it makes when hitting the ball. I used a DHS Hurricane Neo 3 (41°) on my forehand and a DHS Hurricane Neo 3 (39°) on my backhand. It felt very fast, so I changed the rubbers to Yinhe Mercury 2 Soft (Max thickness) on both sides. Since then, my Yinhe Pro 01 has become a joy to play with.
Now I have both speed and very good control and block with this blade. Keep in mind that Yinhe Mercury 2 Soft (Max thickness) rubbers are around €10 each. They’re very cheap, but very tacky and offer excellent control. You just need to learn the correct techniques, and you’ll be very happy with this setup.
Since I bought the Yinhe Pro 01, I’ve stopped playing with my Butterfly Tiago Apolonia ZLC, which is indeed a very good blade, but really fast and hard to control. I play at an intermediate level.

This blade is 90% similar to a Viscaria. If you want a Viscaria but don’t have the money, get this instead. Otherwise, just get a Viscaria.
