Hello!
I play with a Yinhe PR-500 blade. On the forehand, I use 729 prov battle 2 and I boost it. On the backhand, I use Joola ex-plode sensetiv 1.8mm. For me, it works wonderfully, providing good control for fast looping and attacks.
Once I had a 78g version of this blade, which wasn’t too stiff and was actually rather medium-hard. It supported topspins very well and offered superb control. It played similarly to my T-6 blade, which I appreciate very much. It might have been a tiny bit slower or softer and it might have been better quality. However, because I wanted two or three blades, I decided to buy T-6 blades rather than this one, solely because of the rather high price of this blade, even if it is still cheaper than the Stiga Rosewood blades. So, all in all, I would still heartily recommend this blade.
Review: Blade Comparison
Compared to the Yinhe T7, this blade is more flexible despite feeling harder. However, it still feels softer than the TSP Hino Power. The ball can still be felt, and there is minimal vibration for feedback, unlike the Yinhe W6, which vibrates more. This makes it a good choice.
Performance
For spin and drive, it is highly controllable. In terms of speed, it is comparable to the T7. The finishing is excellent.
Update: Comparison with Xiom Extreme S
When compared to the Xiom Extreme S, the dwell time is shorter. This is likely due to the top ply difference: the Extreme S uses limba, while this blade uses rosewood. To compensate for the shorter dwell time, I will try pairing it with Chinese tacky rubber.
