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.

I bought this blade and have been playing with it for two weeks. Comparing it to other blades in its price range, it offers exceptional value for money.

The blade is both very fast and controllable, making it a great option for attacking players. It is also very solid, providing a stable platform for shots.

This is a well-made blade. However, it is too fast and too stiff for a Japanese penhold blade. It feels like playing with a granite countertop.

This blade’s speed and stiffness make it unsuitable for Japanese pen-hold style players. The playing experience with this blade is not enjoyable. Matching this blade with a super soft rubber is essential. To avoid disappointment, it is recommended not to purchase this blade.

I bought this bat a week ago and have been using it for all of my games. It is designed for Japanese-style holding, which took me some time to adjust to.

I found that the wood is quite hard, and it is very bouncy when you put on a spin-offensive rubber. Therefore, I recommend using a less bouncy rubber that still provides high spin. I am sure this combination will give quite good effects.
