Yinhe V14 Pro

For the 30th anniversary of its work (in 2016) the company YINHE (MILKYWAY) has released a very interesting base - Venus V-14 Pro. It was so successful that it is even played by Xu Yingbin ( at the time of writing (autumn 2018) player China Junior National Team (junior team of China). Looks like Timo Boll's ALC - very controlling off with a soft feeling and a big ball delay.

Although the name base is similar to the popular Venus V-14, and the addition of the word Pro speaks of some improvements, this base seems to be different from its predecessor. They are similar in that they both belong to the class Off, and generally very similar in speed, and both are a 7-layer composite. As well as the fact that both have excellent game characteristics, comparable to the characteristics of the bases of the Japanese firm BUTTERFLY (although the difference in price speaks for itself and does not need further comments).

The V-14 and V-14 Pros differ in that the V-14 uses carbokev (kevlar'carbon) as a composite, while the V-14 Pro uses arylate carbon (ALC). Perhaps, the composition of wooden layers also has some differences, but we do not know it yet, and this is not the main thing. What is most important is the differences in game characteristics. Although their speed is very similar, but the game properties and the feeling of the ball are not the same. The V-14 has a more ringing, more rigid feeling and has a less delayed ball. Whereas the V-14 Pro has a softer feel, a more deaf sound, and a much longer ball. And so, although the V-14 has a very good control for its speed characteristics, the V-14 Pro has even better control.

Another small difference is that the V-14 handle FL is thicker and closer to the square section, while the V-14 Pro handle FL is slightly thinner (but not thin) and has a more rounded section (but not a purely round one).

In general, about the V-14 Pro ALC can safely say that it has excellent gaming characteristics, which are usually available only at the bases of Japanese firms, which are priced at 3-4 times more expensive. So the firm YINHE once again pleased the tennis players with a cool product at an affordable price.
