Yinhe Carbokev K-4

K-4 is okay, but it’s not exceptional and is a bit too slow for aggressive play. However, it provides excellent dwell time due to its soft outer layer. The rubbers that best complement this blade, in my opinion, are XIOM OmegaVI Europe max (forehand) and ACUDA-2 max (backhand). Additionally, Roxon500 2 mm and Roxon450 MAX performed well on the forehand.

Said to be a clone of TBS, but I’ve never played with a TBS, so I can’t say for sure. It provides good speed while remaining controllable. The feel is fairly soft. I own two of these blades, and the flare handles vary significantly in size. One is quite beefy (likely around 88g), while the other is rather slim (probably about 86g). Overall, it’s a very solid blade.

Good blade for an all-around player. The speed rating is overrated; it’s too slow for me. I’ve tried many rubbers on it, and the best results I had were with ROXON500 and HEXER+. I’m currently playing with T-8.

This is a terrific blade! It offers good speed, power, and control whether you’re close to the table or 8' back. Loops and long distance chops are also nicely executed with this blade. It weighs 90 grams and has an ST handle.

OFF-Holz: 2 x Koto + 2 x Carbokev + 3 x Ayous

OFF-Holz is a good choice for loopers and is compatible with Chinese rubbers.

I just received the blade and was surprised by the amount of speed it generates while maintaining excellent control. My backhand has become more consistent since using this blade. Additionally, I appreciate its lightweight design.

Best blade I have ever played with. It offers very good control for an offensive player over the entire area of the blade, yet it is still pretty aggressive. I am using this blade with Dawei Inspirit UL 2.2 and my shots are super precise, which helped me achieve some surprising scores/performance against some strong opponents.

For anyone who has tried a TBS or for anyone interested, this blade has identical playing characteristics but is cheaper and has a more comfortable handle.

Incredible value. I love this blade. It plays almost as well as some of the Butterfly Arylate blades (TBS) but at a fraction of the cost. It offers a good balance between speed and control. The blade weighs 86 grams.
