Yinhe PRO 7W
Yinhe PRO 7W is a 7-ply all-wood offensive blade that masterfully blends speed with control. Its Limba outer plies and Ayous core deliver a comfortable feel and excellent dwell time, perfect for aggressive drives and spin-heavy loops. Designed for players who dominate close to the table, it also provides reliable power for mid-distance rallies. The craftsmanship and comfortable handle stand out, offering remarkable value and a responsive feel for technically skilled players seeking a high-performance tool.
Its construction uses seven wood plies: Limba on the outside and Ayous for the five inner layers. This setup creates a stiffer, more powerful feel than 5-ply blades, ideal for drives, while the soft Limba surface ensures good touch and dwell time for spin.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
PRO 7W delivers impressive speed for an all-wood blade, placing it firmly in the offensive category. Its 7-ply construction generates excellent pace for fast attacks and powerful drives, especially effective close to the table. While not as explosive as carbon blades, it provides a significant speed advantage that supports direct hitting and dynamic looping techniques.
Despite its offensive nature, PRO 7W maintains outstanding control. This stability comes from its all-wood build and the soft, forgiving touch of the Limba outer plies, which provide clear ball feedback. Players find it easy to place shots accurately during fast rallies, with control being particularly noticeable during close-table drives and blocking exchanges.
The blade delivers a medium-hard feel. The outer Limba plies provide a softer initial touch that aids dwell time, while the overall stiffness from the seven-ply structure creates a direct, solid, and responsive sensation upon ball impact.
It produces a medium-high throw angle, which is excellent for creating powerful, arcing loops that can clear the net comfortably and then dip sharply onto the opponent's side of the table.
PRO 7W offers very good dwell time, facilitated by the softer Limba outer plies. This extended contact allows players to brush the ball effectively, generating substantial spin on loops and controlled drives, which greatly enhances its offensive control.
PRO 7W is a stiff blade, characteristic of its 7-ply construction. This reduced flexibility compared to 5-ply blades contributes to its direct, catapult-like response and power, making it ideal for players who favor a solid feel for drives and counter-attacks.
As a 7-ply all-wood blade, it transmits a moderate level of vibration. This provides useful feedback on shot quality without being harsh or jarring, helping players feel the ball for better touch and control during play.
Players consistently praise the PRO 7W for its excellent build quality and refined finish, especially given its accessible price point. The craftsmanship is notably good, featuring a well-smoothed and comfortable handle that exceeds expectations for a blade in this category, making it a standout for value.
