Yinhe Pro Feeling
Yinhe Pro Feeling is a dynamic offensive blade engineered for players who want speed, control, and spin in one package. Its advanced 5-wood + 2 Arylate-Carbon (ALC) construction delivers a responsive feel with enhanced dwell time, perfect for powerful loops and aggressive attacks. This blade provides a premium sensation, offering substantial power while maintaining precise control for tactical play. An excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players, the Pro Feeling stands out for its exceptional value, rivaling the performance of much more expensive alternatives.
This 5-wood + 2 fiber (Basalt/Arylate) construction uses an 'inner layer' design. Fibers placed closer to the core typically result in a softer feel, increased dwell time, and more controlled power compared to outer-carbon blades. This arrangement enhances spin generation and offers a wood-like feel during passive strokes, while still providing ample power for offensive actions.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Yinhe Pro Feeling is consistently rated as a very fast blade. Our testing shows it delivers speed on par with or even exceeding well-known offensive blades, making it ideal for players who rely on fast attacks and counter-attacks. The hybrid construction with ALC and Basalt fibers provides powerful offensive capability, ensuring you have the pace needed for aggressive play.
Despite its high speed, the Pro Feeling offers exceptional control. Players report great confidence in touch shots, blocking, and serves, allowing for precise ball placement. The inner fiber construction contributes significantly to this, providing a more linear response and better feel compared to many outer-carbon blades, making it remarkably easy to control during rallies.
The feel presents a noticeable 'woven carbon' sensation during loops. Many players compare it to premium blades, finding it slightly harder or stiffer than some alternatives, yet with more feeling and better touch in the lower gears. The Koto outer plies and inner fibers create a crisp, responsive connection with the ball.
Pro Feeling appears to have a medium-high throw angle based on player descriptions of its looping capabilities. This facilitates high-arching topspin shots, effective for clearing the net and placing the ball deep in the opponent's court.
Inner ALC and Basalt fiber construction typically increases dwell time, letting players feel the ball more and generate heavier spin. This longer contact aids in executing powerful, spin-loaded loops and creates a more connected sensation during strokes.
Described as having a slight flex, the blade isn't overly stiff. This balance allows for good arc generation on loops and provides a more forgiving feel on slower shots compared to very rigid blades. The inner fiber construction contributes to this moderate flexibility.
The blade offers good ball feel with a moderate level of vibration from the carbon and basalt fibers. This feedback is generally positive, providing useful information without being harsh, allowing for better ball control and stroke adjustment.
Build quality of the Yinhe Pro Feeling is considered very good, especially for its price point. TTSensei experts note the craftsmanship feels superior to many blades in a similar range, with a solid, well-made construction that often draws favorable comparisons to more expensive brands.
Technology
Yinhe Pro Feeling incorporates an advanced 5+2 ply construction with an innovative mix of wood plies and high-performance Basalt and Arylate fibers. Unlike typical outer-carbon blades, the fiber layers are strategically placed as inner plies, closer to the core. This 'inner fiber' technology offers a softer, more forgiving feel during passive play, similar to all-wood blades, while activating to provide significant power and speed when attacked with force. This unique build aims to deliver enhanced dwell time for superior spin generation and a more connected feel, allowing offensive players to execute powerful, controlled topspin shots.
