Yinhe 989

I am a Jpen player who primarily uses a 1 ply hinoki blade. I made the switch to Cpen to improve my twiddling and RPB skills, but I was not satisfied with the results.

Out of the blue, I came across this blade. It is moderately effective for RPB (not exceptional but not poor either; it depends on your personal adaptability). I equip it with 802 40 on the forehand side and 563 on the backhand side. This combination has resulted in significant development and improvement in my game.

The forehand side, fitted with short pips 802 40, provides exceptional speed. For deceptive play, I employ the 563 and twiddle to disorient my opponents. Overall, this blade is well-suited for fast attack playstyles.

I bought 2 blades and changed them to shakehand handles. For backhand loops and topspins, it plays like a charm. As for forehand, the topspin and smashes are like bullets — unstoppable.

I love this blade for both its price and characteristics. I paired one with yellow AK47s on both sides, and the other with Tibhar El-P and MX-S. I love it! ðŸ˜

Great blade. It’s an enjoyment to play with this blade. It’s really fantastic!

Un legno fantastico, anche se veloce si riesce a giocare abbastanza bene. La precisione dipende tutto da noi, il resto lo fa il legno. Provare per credere.

Pretty fast blade. You can’t execute RPB very well. Overall, it’s a good blade, a little too fast for my opinion.
