YINHE PRO 02 Table Tennis Blade– Alternative to Butterfly Taksim

The Yinhe Pro 02 is a high-quality 5+2 Arylate-Carbon (ALC) blade, designed specifically for Chinese penhold players who demand speed, control, and professional-grade performance. Inspired by the legendary Butterfly Taksim, this blade offers a comparable feel and structure, making it a popular affordable alternative for CPen users.

This blade features 5 wood plies and 2 Arylate-Carbon layers, with a hard Koto outer veneer and ALC layers near the surface, delivering a crisp, direct touch and enhanced stability. It is built for aggressive loop-based offense but remains reliable in control-oriented play thanks to its excellent vibration dampening and extended sweet spot.

Key Features & Play Characteristics

✅ Taksim-Inspired Structure
Designed as a high-quality alternative to Butterfly Taksim, the Pro 02 shares a similar feel and construction. It’s only available in Chinese penhold (CPen) format, just like the original Taksim, and is ideal for serious penhold attackers.

✅ Fast and Precise Forehand Play
The Koto outer ply gives a sharp rebound and fast acceleration, helping you drive the ball with confidence. Whether you’re opening with loops or finishing with punches, it responds quickly and cleanly.

✅ ALC Layers for Stability and Power
The inner Arylate-Carbon layers increase stiffness without making the blade feel too hard. This boosts your power on active strokes while maintaining comfort and control during passive shots.

✅ Excellent for Close-to-Table Offense
Thanks to its compact size and crisp handling, the Pro 02 shines in quick exchanges and third-ball attacks, especially for players who stay close to the table and dominate with forehand aggression.

✅ Controlled Blocking and Touch Play
While it’s clearly built for offense, the blade is also trustworthy during blocks and short game. The feedback is stable, allowing for accurate placement and timing.

✅ Penhold-Only, Pro-Level Build
By focusing only on the penhold version, Yinhe was able to refine this blade for serious CPen players. It’s rare to find an outer-ALC penhold blade of this quality and price.

Who Should Use the Yinhe Pro 02?

✔️ Chinese penhold players seeking a high-performance ALC blade
✔️ Former Taksim users looking for a solid replacement
✔️ Forehand-dominant loopers and quick hitters
✔️ Players who stay close to the table and rely on fast attacks
✔️ CPen players wanting top-tier feel without paying premium prices
