Yinhe Venus V-14 PRO

This blade isn't like a BTY TB ALC, it basically IS one. It has the exact same composition and plies (koto, ALC, limba, Kiri, limba, ALC, koto). It plays identical because it basically is identical for a quarter of the price. It is also extremely well made. Probably the best sanding job I've seen. It's also sealed nicely, so you don't need to seal it yourself. Basically, if you're thinking about getting the Timo Bill ALC, do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and get this instead. You won't be disappointed.

So, I bought one blade. I have a normal V-14 too. This one is a bit faster and stiffer and it is built with ALC. The feeling is high and good. I will update later. This blade is a must have! UPDATE! This is a PRO version, which means, that the blade should me more direct and aggressive, than the normal V-14. The blade feels definitely stiffer and a bit faster, the tempo is OFF with a fine touch. Goes well with all rubbers. This blade is a very nice looping blade well suited for an all out looper and attacker style. Similar to BF TB/ZJK ALC. UPDATE 2018! So I finally swithched to this blade from the normal V-14. I ordered one blade to my couple and she loves it too. Yes the blade is around 92 grams. But there is a big thing! After a few trainings my backhand improved because of the different balance of the blade. The blade is around 180-190 grams with most modern tensors considering the really heavy ones. Mine is 183 with 2 Palio AK 47 REDs. So I came to realize that this blade's weight distribution is very good, the middle point of the blade is 1.5-2 cms (0.6-0.8 inches) above the handle. This makes me able to switch my wings very fast. After 4 sessions I was able to succesfully loop 6-10 random loops in a match situation. With the normal V-14 (I tried 3 blades, with the same rubbers) I was slower because the weight point of the V-14 is higher (so it is a bit more head heavy). I also performed a non-intentional crash test, no big deal, but it is stiffer, than the V-14. Last time I did the puch serve I separated the top veener from the V-14, the V-14 PRO only got a little dent.

Perfectly balanced blade. I did not expect this blade to be this good. I love it for a dominating close to the table game. It is both very stable and easy to open up with. Just like the Viscarias the blade favours players with a good backhand.

I had just installed DHS Hurricane 3 rubber to FH and BH. The blade quality is excellence . Perfect edge especially wings some sanding. The hitting sound is sharp and crisp: sharp sound. I just love it’s weight and balance . Much better then DHS PG7 in my opinion. I have not test it on table yet . So far initial glue and bounce gives good feel and serve feels awesome . Spin generated is good. I am club level player with many blades Stiga clipper , DHS PG7 ,Andro Timber 7 .Package comes in with serial number laser in board and also bar code on package wrap . All proves it’s authencity and genuine product. I order from Tenryu Malaysia online for Malaysian Ringgit 185 . It’s worth it for a 5+ 2ALC blade 7 ply . After spent 8 hours on it , its a good feel, the side loop is impressive. I can do the previous shots previously unable to. I need to adjust my strokes as its my first ALC blade. Used to all 7 ply wood blade. Touch play is also playable - control is good. The smash is incredible powerful and speed. It now hits my opponent body at a faster speed. Worth every penny for its performance. This Yinhe v14 pro is a limited edition for their 30 year company anniversary.

Great blade. The Best choice under 50 U$. Recently i played with bty ZJALC. This blade is a little harder and faster. A little less speed and less vibration compared with viscaria. For the price, there is no better choice. The my cost 35 U$. Excellent quality, and great finishing.
