v1 vs hk hh656 ymlc yeo

 

i seal with the new varnish i sealed hh656 to see if the sealing has to do with that hh656 being hard.

 

the v1 felt as soft in surface being limba as expected. so as i thought the hh656 i got was hard. the new varnish in fact is very smooth and thin.

 

handle is not so wide at the bottom as hh hk but as thick as them so it is ok. i do not like when the handle gets thinner approaching the thumb.

 

as i suspected v1 is quite similar in feeling as ymlc, though it is a thicker blade with a not so direct feeling (just a bit less direct feeling).

 

so i put h3 fh and sriver fx.

 

lot of control, very easy blade like a ymlc, but not so sensitive to rubber thickness. i like a little better ymlc feel but i like v1 more in solidness.

 

in conclusion if this was a movie v1 is a walt disney one: for everybody.

 

v1 is not more powerful than hk. the thing is that v1 as ymlc in my opinion are better blades to chinese rubbers now there is not glue because carbon boost somewhat the chinese. i also play h3 primary and that is why i like more ymlc and yeo than hk with chinese rubber.

 

however the answer for hk is bryce. speed, feeling and dwell time. Now there is not glue bryce is for hk more than ever.

 

being thicker than ymlc, v1, is as light as ymlc blade.

 

what about hh and yeo?

 

hh656 with t05 is in the movies a xx one: for grown up very skilled.

 

hh and yeo have more crisp wood feeling. maybe this is what rpb needs.
