The Yinhe Pro-05X MAX table tennis blade is designed for advanced players who seek a balance of speed, control, and power. Here are the key features and characteristics: The blade is made of 5+2 ply construction, combining five wood layers (limba outer plies) with two layers of Arylate-Carbon (ALC). This structure enhances rigidity and accelerative properties, making the blade suitable for powerful offensive play The Pro-05X max has a measured thickness of 6.2 mm, which is thicker than the Pro-05x, providing greater rigidity and stability during high-speed rallies. This added thickness improves the blade's ability to transfer power and control It offers a balanced combination of speed and spin, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles, particularly those that require quick transitions between offense and defense. This blade has more speed and less control compared to The Yinhe Pro-01X.
 
 
The PRO-05X MAX is a professional-level offensive table tennis blade from Yinhe’s Pro series, built to deliver strong power, excellent feel, and balanced play for aggressive loopers and attackers.
Construction:
7-ply structure: 5 layers of wood with inner KLC (Kevlar-Carbon) fiber.
Inner Kevlar-Carbon gives a softer, more controlled feel compared to traditional ALC carbon.
Limba outer wood is often used for better dwell time and spin potential.
Thickness ~6.0 mm — on the thicker side of performance blades, contributing to speed and power.
Weight ~90-95 g, typical for a fast offensive blade.
This inner-fiber design aims to blend the control and ball dwell of wood with the explosive power of carbon.
🔎 Key Performance Characteristics
⚡ Power & Speed
Excellent punch and acceleration: When you press into the stroke, the blade transfers energy efficiently for powerful loops and drives.
Not extreme catapult like some top-end tensor blades, but the KLC gives a smooth and controlled ball release.
Suited for fast attacking play at mid-to-far from the table.
🌀 Spin & Arc
Good spin generation with the right rubbers — the Limba wood surface offers more bite and arc compared to firmer carbon blades.
While blade reviews specifically for 05X MAX are scarce, the Pro 05-series trend suggests that as it sits between the 05 and 05X, it will have slightly higher spin and longer arc than its siblings.
🎯 Control & Feel
Inner Kevlar-Carbon softens the feel relative to stiff carbon layers (e.g., ALC), giving better touch and ball feedback especially on softer loop shots.
Offers good control for an offensive blade, helping players place shots and adjust spin effectively.
Easier to handle than some very stiff or overly fast blades.
☑️ Overall Play Style Fit
Best suited for:
Aggressive loopers who like to mix spin and power.
Players who loop from mid-distance and want a blade that accelerates without losing too much control.
Those upgrading from all-wood blades to something with more punch but still good feel.
Not ideal if:
You prefer purely defensive or close-to-table control only — there are softer or more control-oriented blades.
You’re a beginner — specialist offensive blades reward better stroke mechanics.
