It is an incredible blade. Extremely light (mine weighs 77g) and consistent. It is very fast, but not as fast as bty primorac carbon or the legendary schlager carbon, in spite of having their same composition (5 plies - kiri at the center, carbon and then hinoki outer plies). It’s a cheaper, but very similar alternative to bty tamca 5000 blades.
I have paired it with two fastarc g-1 and the result has been outstanding: a light, fast, and extremely spinny combination.
Having said that, rubbers with very hard sponges, such as Xiom Omega 7 tour and Andro Rasanter R53, may be difficult to use due to the stiffness of the blade, but everything depends on your technique skills. Naturally-aspirated, carbon blades commonly have less dwell time in comparison to more flexible, all-wood blades, and this one is not different.
I suggest focusing on spin/grip rather than on speed when choosing the rubbers. If paired with high arc, spinny rubbers such as fastarc g1, baracuda, and tenergy 05, the blade becomes an all-out-attack, top-spin machine, especially in medium-distance shots. Blocking is exceptional, but the blade’s speed creates a forward-oriented ball trajectory, which requires good timing and technique to place the ball with precision.
In short, if you have an attack-oriented game and want to add power to your strokes, this blade is for you.
Yinhe K-3 Carbon Blade Review
This is a good blade. It is light, fast, consistent, and easy to attack with. It is faster than the Donic Waldner WC89 ZLC but slower than the BTY Primorac Carbon. It is easy to use with soft tensors like Acuda S2 and T05.
Blocking is extremely easy with this blade. You can feel the ball sink into the blade, and you can really feel the ball while blocking. It is easier to block with this blade than with the Donic Waldner WC89.
The blade has a lot of power at close to the table and medium distance, but it is not as powerful farther away from the table. Flat hitting is also quite easy with this blade.
Overall, this is a very good blade that is great for loopers and attackers.
