Yinhe Purple Dragon PD-537

Faster than PG7 same looping abilities. A bit on the heavy side( 94gr.) that's why you have to choose the right rubbers ( medium to hard rubbers recommended ). Outer walnut layer gives the blade a high throw angle and a crisp touch. Great sweet spot. Good off blade.

Very high quality finish on this blade. Looks very pleasing to the eye with the walnut top layer finished so well. The FL handle is perfect for my hand and the blade balance is excellent for an offensive blade. I set it up with Yinhe Big Dipper and Yinhe Sun. It is a fast blade with good "spring" effect on impact with the ball. The top walnut layer, I am sure is what's adding this property and also adds quite a bit to its speed. I have no difficulty with push shots over the table or chopping from any distance. It absolutely shines on drives and committed power loops. I found it to definitely be a step up from my PG7. I am considering slapping on H3 or 729-08 in the near future, as I feel these rubbers would be a good match for this blade. Great blade from Yinhe for a steal of a price!

Well, this is a good craftsmanship blade in finishing. Control very good with better sweet spot. Power is very good, no need hit very hard just 70% force, but it got 100 % speed and power. So I like the speed so fast. Excellent in Forehand topspin. Very easy to do Forehand drive. But must be practice to better control in backhand flick. I decided to use this blade for long time. I used Palio ak47 red for Backhand and Palio HK1997 for Forehand. Very fast and power top spin...But control good too. I recommended.

Decided try out an all wood blade such as this. When coming from ALC blades such as H301 series. This takes some bit to adjust. I appreciated the power of this racket. Behind the table a few metres back was easy to return the ball. The blade felt very linear in drives and quite predictable. Blocking and returning loop drives with a slap was my highlights of this blade. I feel it was due to my unfamiliarity with this blade that I wasn’t able to produce the tricky power forehand drives that usually win me points. The power of this blade I feel is comparably similar to the Goiabao 5 which I believe is fast. G5 is still a harder and stiffer blade. I should have used TG3 BS instead of TG2 BS for better looping and confidence. Touch game is dependent on your feel. Easy to pop the ball too high. Lifting underspin with topspin requires quality brushing. Beautiful piece otherwise. The price for quality is amazing. Yasaka would sell this for $20-$30 more.

Great blade. Good speed and control. It has a good vibration, that to me is very good, but depends on the player. Before i used stiga Infinity VPS and zjk alc. Faster, bouncier and a little bit softer than Infinity, and very good far from The table. Similar with zjk alc in therms of speed and control, but a little harder. Great choice to people Who like fast wood blades and 40 usd for this pick its awesome. Nice finishing and very confortable FL handle.
