The Yinhe Pro Feeling is a 7-ply all-wood table tennis blade specifically designed for players seeking exceptional control and consistency. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this blade features a blend of African Ayous, Limba, and Kiri wood, harmonizing their unique properties to achieve an outstanding playing experience.
With a speed rating of 90 and a control rating of 99, the Pro Feeling stands out as a perfect choice for players who prioritize precision and stability over sheer power. Its 5.7mm thickness and 87-gram weight contribute to its exceptional control and maneuverability, enabling players to execute intricate techniques and deftly counter their opponents' attacks.
The Yinhe Pro Feeling exhibits a stiffness rating of 5 and a hardness rating of 5.9, indicating a slightly softer feel compared to other blades. This attribute enhances its consistency, allowing players to maintain consistent spin and accuracy even during intense rallies. Despite its softer composition, the Pro Feeling still generates ample power when needed, ensuring satisfying offensive capabilities.
Seasoned players have consistently praised the Pro Feeling for its exceptional touch, enabling them to execute delicate strokes and precise placements with remarkable ease. The blade's high control and consistency also inspire confidence in defensive play, allowing players to effectively block, chop, and counter-attack.
Overall, the Yinhe Pro Feeling is highly regarded as an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of control, consistency, and power. Its all-wood construction and thoughtful design make it a reliable and versatile blade suitable for various playing styles and competitive levels.
This blade from Yinhe offers exceptional value for its price point. The thin Koto outer layer, combined with volcanic basalt and Aryllite fiber inner layers (without carbon), provides an excellent feel, justifying its name. Compared to the commercial Hurricane Long 5, it surpasses it in my opinion. However, it can be slightly more challenging to lift backspin at times due to the limited flexibility of the volcanic basalt fiber, resulting in slightly reduced dwell time.
Despite this, the amount of spin that can be generated with this blade is remarkable. It exhibits a linear trajectory, making it effective for blocking and short touch control. The handle is slightly thicker, which some players prefer, and it feels solid. The only drawback is the fragility of the thin outer layer, necessitating light sanding and sealing for longevity. This blade is ideal for forehand-oriented players like Ma Long, so if you prefer this style of play, you should not miss out on this option.
I have read that the blade is a clone of Viscaria. From my experience, it is similar to Viscaria, but with higher speed, better control, a somewhat harder feel, and a better “feeling”.
The handle (shakehand FL) is very comfortable. I used it with BTY Rosena on the forehand and Galaxy Saturn Pro on the backhand.
This blade is not a clone of any other. It has a unique design.
I also have DHS FANG BO ALC, BTY IF Layer ALC, and BTY TB ALC blades. The Yinhe Pro Feeling (mine weighs 87 grams) is different from all of them. It has a unique inner layer construction with a KOTO outer layer and Basalt fibre (Volcanic) and Arylate (Vecran) fibre as the third layer. The only other brand that I know of that uses Basalt fibre is a very small German manufacturer.
It took me a while to realize the quality of the Pro Feeling, but it is now my competition blade because it gives me great confidence with DHS H3 blue sponge and Fastarc G1. It has at least similar speed and power as the three other blades I mentioned.
The Pro Feeling is more stable, more linear, and has more precision than the DHS FB ALC, with a much better handle and much better quality. It is way more linear and at least as spinny (with a softer touch because there is no carbon) as the BTY IF Layer ALC. Therefore, it has much better control. It is almost as stable and as consistent as the BTY TB ALC, with the same speed but more feeling, better lower gears, more spin (or just easier to generate), and a similar medium throw. Both are top blades, and with both, I always know why I made a mistake.
Unlike the BTY IF Layer ALC, which struggles with an abrupt kick in of carbon that makes the ball fly anywhere, the Yinhe Pro Feeling not only behaves well in training but also inspires a lot of confidence in competition, which is what makes a great blade.
