Yinhe Venus V-15

I have two V-15 blades. I must say, they do not have good consistency. One is stiffer and harder than the other. When I reported this to the supplier, I couldn’t believe he said that this is a normal situation.

This blade doesn’t come at a 7.0mm thickness but rather 6.7mm, with a large sweet spot and a larger head size than the Butterfly and my PG-7. It nearly has the same flex as my PG-7, with a touch more speed, very great for looping. It has the power from almost all distances, and its BH loop and flicks specifically can’t be beaten and are the major section for this amazing blade.

It has a high finish quality and durability. I just had it hit the tables twice with no dents. I would say the hardness is between medium and medium-hard, with a huge dwell time. Although the blade is thick, it is not as hard as you imagine since the outer ayous plies are thick, so the CarboKev isn’t that close to the surface.

I’m testing this blade. For now, I feel good when I scratch or turn the ball. Pushing the blade causes a bit of backlash, but it doesn’t have as much control as I expected. The blade is listed as having a 7mm thickness, but it feels more like 5.5-6mm. The consistency of the blade is also a bit low.
