Sanwei 75 Inner ALC

ONLY stiffness and hardness updated !!! This blade "must" be recommended!!! ;-) UPDATED! ... cause definitely underrated !!! ... and also because I now own a third blade, this time weighing 88 g. I have tried four different inner layer woods in the past few years, but unfortunately only one of them was acceptable. (so far!) ;) Facts: my 3 Sanwei ALC 75 Inner blades have all a (rather strong) FL handle, which becomes a little slimmer in the middle and very strong towards the end of the handle. My first 2 weighed 89 g, the sweet spot is average in size and the workmanship is very good. Although this blade is a lot harder than my previous innerlayer blades. ( - a Butterfly Innerforce ALC, for example, is even harder and plays even more directly!) After trying various rubbers on this blade, including the new Joola Tronix ACC with 47.5 degrees sponge hardness in 2 mm thickness or the TSP Ventus Speed ( - now VICTAS Ventus Stiff) with 45 degrees and 1.8 mm, I ended up with my "old comrades", the Tenergy 64 (BH, 1.7 mm) and the Dignics 09c (FH, 2.1 mm). - However, I made a small adjustment after the second half of last season!!! ... I play now the Donic Bluegrip S2 (BH) with 1.8 mm (42 g.) and the Dig. 09c (FH) only with 1.9 mm. (46 g.) - I have sealed all three blades with clear varnish and I glue my coverings with solvent-based glue! Conclusion: Ultimately, this blade is just great. ... fast, with a direct feel and very good control. Regardless of the rubber combination, it always delivers good performance and is very affordable at $47. (- in the “Global Sports Store” on AliExpress. ;) ... good service included!) Addendum: This blade also feels really comfortable with a Xiom Vega X or a Tibhar Hybrid Mk. :)

So I use Viscaria daily. Started shopping cheap chinese blades for fun. I have many blades. Donic original true carbon, Yinhe v14, yinhe pro01, the viscaria, Timo Boll CAF and others I forgot..... Now if I didnt have my Viscaria I would be using this Sanwei blade as my main blade. Its great allround. Can do it all. great control. yet pretty fast. light. good balance. I cost me 30 bucks on aliexpress. You simply cant beat the price vs. performance. If you get it you wont regret it.

My first Inner carbon. Came from Tibhar Stratus Power wood. Took a punt buying from AliExpress, only £32!! 88g FL blade arrived, nice finish. Adjusted quickly. I have paired with D09c B/h and boosted H3 neo. Dwell time is v.good and is a monster for looping. Base level is slightly faster than my previous off- blade but only opens the higher gear when engaged. Comfortable away from the table and when required can access higher powered strokes. Recommend for players who want to retain control and spin but want to access powerful strokes.

The Sanwei 75 Inner is a remarkably balanced blade that offers superb control and an incredible ability to generate spin. It has a slight head-heavy balance, which really helps with power behind the shots. In terms of speed, it sits right in the 'sweet spot': it’s faster than a Donic Waldner Senso Carbon but noticeably more controlled and slower than a Donic Ovtcharov No.1 or a Viscaria. What’s interesting is the feedback: it gives a stiff sensation upon impact, but that feeling is deceptive. While it might feel stiff in the hand, the actual dwell time, spin, and control are much higher than expected when you see the results on the opposite side of the table. My unit came in at 90g and the craftsmanship is top-notch—the surface is so smooth it doesn't even need sealing. Blocking is a piece of cake, and despite being an OFF blade, pushing and short-game control are effortless. This is officially my new main blade!
