Yinhe 970 XX-C

Mine weighs 87 grams. The length of the blade is a little longer than that of its counterparts in the 970+ series. The handle is wider at the bottom (similar to the DHS handle).

For rubber, I use Loki nano 80 on the left and DHS Gold Arc 5 on the right. For a topspin game near the table, the first move is excellent. The closed side is also stable (all controls and speeds are on top). Flat play is also convenient.

Of the minuses, the sweet spot is not the biggest and the base is picky about overlays.

Summary: This blade is suitable for players focused on the game of topspins with Chinese rubber. It is one of the best for playing with sticky overlays to screw the ball into the opponent’s side with topspins. I also saw the Chinese Wang Bo play with such a base.
