Yinhe had an oversized willow face called lq1. I can't find them any more, but they were nice

ColesTT , for God's sake please calling semi-large blades as oversized blades.
The manufacturers have been spreading this lie forever since the dawn of the sponge era itself (like from 1962)

This kind of deception is primarily designed to fools the choppers, the clueless ignorant fools of table tennis , the choppers.
The problem has gotten only much worse with the ball size increase to 40- mm celluloid ball in 2000 & then the 40+ plastic ball
This is in addition to other changes, the (click link >) 14 rule and regulation changes since 1977 by the ITTF

I am reposting correct blade sizes here

Compact 150 mm 15.0 cm 5.9 inch
Standard 155 mm 15.5 cm 6.1 inch
Mid size 160 mm 16.0 cm 6.3 inch
Semi large 165 mm 16.5 cm 6.5 inch
Large 170 mm 17.0 cm 6.7 inch
Over sized at least 172 mm 17.2 cm 6.8 inch

This is pulled from the following Click link > topic about blade sizes

There are also quite a few topic discussions in this forum about blade sizes & their ramifications.
There was detailed discussion today with Nexy custom blade designer

Here is the size data for LQ for Cole_Ely
Yinhe LQ1 blade size specification

It says 167 x 153 mm
That makes it a semi-large blade by no means an oversized blade

You can buy LQ1 at this website

Click link > YinheUSA webpage

It says last one but of that was sold out they may be able to get one for you from their connections , for the right price I am sure

You can also buy at many places below

If you are truly unfamiliar with blade head size definitions & their evil context, it not a big deal.
Even somewhat experienced players , let alone beginners may not know it because they have been brainwashed well by the ITTF thru the manufacturers and dealers

But knowingly referring to semi-large blades as oversized blades, just to sell some blades to the clueless ignorant fools , the choppers, is really lowest of the very low
