Yinhe Def 5

I play with the blade for several hours during training. My friend paired it with Mark V 2.0 and 1.8 rubbers on both sides. It makes a great chopping machine. However, due to its flexibility, the blade requires proper brushing techniques when chopping. I like it overall.

This blade excels in classic defense. Its ability to effectively absorb and dissipate vibrations during impact significantly reduces the chance of shots flying over the table. However, it requires a forceful swing to generate sufficient power for shots to clear the net. Despite this drawback, the blade remains a solid choice within its specialized niche.
