Yeah that's exactly why they should be on the list
The d37 looks interesting with that thinner middle core. Though let's just assume that it still have the feel of a 5-ply, since it's only 6 mm.

Hello, had somebody tested this Yinhe D37 blade?

I recently purchased a D37. It is thin and feels as such, and shares in characteristics of 7 ply and 5 ply wood blades. It has vibration, flex and speed characteristics of a five ply blade, but it has a lower trajectory and more limited speed gearing of a seven ply. I felt it to be slower with a soggier vibration yet harder contact feeling than Offensive S and Stratus Powerwood, more stable but not as slingy/bouncy as Victas Swat, and certainly not as supportive/strong as Rossi Viva. The blade I would compare it most to would be the Stiga Energy WRB, in fact the D37 I have is quite close in feeling to many Stiga blades as it has a loud and elastic characteristic vibration, but the trajectory feels low and direct and more suited to someone who drives the ball more rather than loop, and the blade does not feel like it kicks the ball as strongly when you hit hard as is more common with five ply blades. I felt it quite suitable for an allround game mixing a strong short game with blocks and drives as well as some loops, and it felt quite comfortable to chop with as well esp with long pimples, the flared handle is large and very comfortable and the top ply seems to be smooth and resistant to splintering. Quite a nice blade although I can list many blades that I feel have better qualities overall, I currently have Feint 2 and EL-S on it playing a Gionis-esque style, but I think it could also suit a hybrid block/drive game with pimples.

TLDR- from my experience the D37 is a thin, comparatively slow (all+) and benign, medium hard feeling seven ply blade with a slightly lower trajectory.

Oh, thank you for a deep review! I think it is the only one review for this blade yet.
There is another supposedly thinner Yinhe 7 ply blade - Yinhe U1 VB. It is quite standard limba ayous construction with baked layers so it could be little bit lighter. So I am surprised that it seems not much popular. Maybe even discontinued. Have anyone played this blade?

Another one for the list is JOOLA Rossi fire.
6.1 mm thick, 150 x 156 mm headsize. Not long but thick FL handle. Mirror smooth finished limba top ply. Probably made in Hungary. Not played it yet but is quite lightweight (my is 82g) and flexible.
