Don't think it is zylon or equivalent. Just very thin piece of wood. Spec indicated as 7W. It does vibrate.

I'm interested in this. What is the +2 layers? is it zylon or zylon-equivalent? I have YEO and I like it except that the vibration is literally hurting my index finger. Seems YY has better control and better looping than YEO. Only concern I have is downs it have significantly less vibration? Im so frustrated with YEO because it's good but it causes me so much pain.

It should be a standard FL size.. Length 100mm. At the narrowest end, width is 28mm. And at the end pf the handle, the thickness and width are 26mm and 37mm respectively.
It's slightly bigger than Butterfly MJ and Nittaku Tenon FL. The same size as TSP Hino Carbon FL.

I suspect it should work well, but I've yet to try it myself.
Blade size is about 152(width) and 154(length). Handle length abt 100. Average SH weight 88gram.

The handle FL of Yokohama Yue is slim?
What is most suitable on FH? Hard rubbers or soft rubber for this blade? Edited by scdit46 - 11/11/2011 at 7:16pm |

Never tried Acoustic. But did played with Tenor, the bigger brother. Very nice blade too!
IMO,
speed: Tenor > YY
Control: YY ~= Tenor
price: Tenor >> YY .. lol Edited by Antiq - 10/16/2011 at 11:51am |

I think this blade is beautiful. Color combination is similar to Palatinus. If you think that is ugly...

YY is slightly faster than a 5 ply wood blade because of the 2 special coating underneath the top ply. IMO, it should be slower than TBS and Malin carbon, but more dwell time.

Hi,
Could you please compare this blade with one of the popular blades, such as Malin Carbon, TBS, in terms of speed, dwell time, and throw angle? |

I tried the Sword YY a few more times and come to quite like it. It is a nice compromise between carbon and wooden blades. Loops a bit like wooden blades but hits like carbon. Stills it is a pretty fast blade so you need a good hand to control the short game.
Another player who tried it liked the crisp feel and the big amount of spin with this blade (paired with Tenergy). If you can get it for 25$ (price in China), the blade is very good value for money. Also, people say Guo Yue used this blade in Yokohama  |

Today, I just have a hit with my YY (Shakehand) with T05 and Baracuda during lunch break.... just some FH practise and then go straight into some relax games.
The combo felt solid, but not heavy. It only weights around 185gram. Very nice feeling when hitting, there is power with good control.. a little less vibration than YEO... Will have a few more hits over the weekends...

I have not tried with short pips... IMO, may not be suitable as it is more of a looping blade. |

1 year old Tenergy 64 and 05. I felt the blade behaves somewhat unlinear - the ball dropped into the net frequently on passive returns. Active returns went wide quite often. After 1h or so I could control the blade better, and found it really good on fast and hard shots - I'll play it again next week ...

Unpredictable ??? What rubber did you use and did you manage to compare it with any other blade?
Fyi, my friend is using Venus 2..

I tried this blade an must say that is is pretty hard and fast. Greatest strength are the hard shots, but maybe a bit unpredictable otherwise.
Pretty gppd workmanship though, and a very comfortable handle. |

I've told my friend regarding this post and he had given me more info in blue. Feel free to share your experience if you had tried this blade before... |
