I tried this blade with a 729 Battle Max Pro 41deg (fh) and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg (bh), both boosted with two layers of Seamoon. As I'm coming from using Yinhe V14 Pro ALC blade, I'm comparing to this. The V5 is a bit more light weight about 83g. The main thing here I feel is that I've always had problems smashing and flat strokes. With this blade I suddenly had a softer feeling, probably because of the all-wood structure and had a much better flat-hitting evening at the club. When brushing the ball from three-four meters behind the table i feel that the speed is at least the same as with the V14 Pro, mostly it feels faster but not as hard and stiff as V14. The short game is also very good and it's easy to keep the ball short, and place longer pushes where you want them. The blade finish is really good. Soft and smooth and really nice price/quality ratio.

Sorry, this item is currently out of stock. You may ask us to send you a restocking notification when this item is back in stock.
Our notes: This blade is factory-sealed so blade sealing is not required. Maintaining the outstanding performance of the original V5, the new V5 surface is made of a hard Ash wood (like Nittaku Violin), which helps increase attacking speed. The original 3.3mm core is now 3.5mm, increasing power and elasticity. The preferred choice for quick attack and looping players. The special design of the handle is made using a brand new shaping production technique. Quick Attack/Loop OFF Ply: 7 Blade size: 259x150mm
• One of the most promising blades in the market at a very low cost.
• The blade feels like a cross between a Clipper wood and a Nittaku Violin. It is faster than both blades mentioned, but has less vibration and a better feel on ball impacts.
• The newly improved handle is one of the most ergonomic handles on the market.
• Among all-wood Sanwei blades, this seems to be their most promising.

Reviews of Sanwei Pro V5 (23)
Recently got back into table tennis and ordered this blade after ordering a Stiga Allround Classic a few weeks ago. The Stiga came in at 79 grams which felt really light to me, so when I ordered this one I requested one in the high 80s-90 grams as I didn't want to get one that was too heavy. Unfortunately, the one I received was 97 grams in the plastic and 94 grams without. Nevertheless, the Pro V5 plays great. More noticeable power than the Allround Classic with seemingly the same amount of control. It feels like it's right in the middle of the Allround Classic and the Butterfly Mazunov that I also own.
It's really a great blade. Though I've never played with a Clipper or Violin, I imagine they're great if they're near as fast and sensitive as this one. I can feel the ball almost as good as a three ply balsa I made, and my FH is almost as fast despite using a tackier, slower TG3 Neo. My homemade bat has an R47 for comparison.
My bat is still noticeably faster and better for mid-range and open, long rally, but the V5 is great for over table to mid with its TG3 Neo and Target 90. If I transfer my R47 and Nexus XT 50 Hard to this blade, it might be a beast mid to long range, but I think it would take some practice to get a feel for over the table.

7 ply clipper/violin hybrid. The handle of this blade is THICK, 25 mm by 30 mm for my ST version. It has a medium-low throw angle and is OFF- in speed. Very versatile and decent quality, however I would seal the blade and maybe even the handle as the finish is not the best (as is with most Sanwei blades).
