JUST BUY THE Yinhe 985.

I’ve been playing table tennis for over 10 years, and I’ve used a lot of different blades. But the Yinhe 985 is by far the best blade I’ve ever used. It’s a perfect blade for all-around players who want to be able to control the ball well and also generate a lot of power. The Yinhe 985 is made of a high-quality carbon fiber that gives it a great balance of stiffness and flexibility. It’s also very durable, so you can be sure that it will last for a long time.

If you’re looking for a new table tennis blade, I highly recommend the Yinhe 985. It’s one of the best blades on the market, and it’s sure to help you take your game to the next level.

Hard, stiff & fast as the ratings show… Very little dwell time so it’s not easy to loop with. The handle is a new and more ergonomic design in the way that you can line up the blade with your forearm more than with other pen-grip blades (better for forehand I guess). However, because of the lack of smooth finishing, you need to do some sanding for it not to cut into your hand.

The idea is innovative in the handle and hand position would be an excellent looping weapon, but it’s a pity the composition doesn’t suite.

Maybe they wanted to cheaply test out the design in the market before developing more high end blades with it (the handle)?

This is one of the best blades that I have ever used. I play with Chinese pen, shake hand, and J-pen grips. I own several blades, including a few Yinhe and Butterfly blades. This blade performs on par with the Zhang Jike (C-pen and shake hand grip) and DHS Power PG 9 blades. I love this blade so much that I am currently using it with Xiom Omega IV Pro on the forehand and Xu ShaoFa on the backhand. Due to its modified handle, you can use reverse penhold backhand (RPB) with this blade. I am so satisfied with this blade that I am ordering another one as my backup J-pen blade.
