Yinhe Earth E-1

Preliminary information (I may edit this later): — Bought on AliExpress. — Weight: 91.2g, bounce frequency: 1137 Hz (a good amount of flex). — Construction seems to be: koto > spruce > ayous core. — Overall quality is very good for the price: edges are fully sanded, no roughness — but either no curved sanding at the wings (which I personally prefer). — Ply thicknesses are even and symmetric. — Overall thickness is around 5.6mm.

The blade features a crisp and flexible 5-ply koto top. Rated as OFF- in speed, it is well-suited for looping techniques.

It shares similarities with other renowned blades such as the Hurricane King, Hurricane Hao III, and Avalox P500.

Just used it for a couple of hours. Love the ST handle. It’s thin but fits right in my hand. The blade could have a bigger sweet spot, but the building quality is good, and it looks nice. Tried it with cheap Chinese rubbers and was very slow but good for chopping. Now I’ve glued some very used Donic Gallardo Tension rubbers. The speed is completely different, and I’m starting to like it. I’ve managed to surprise some of my club mates. BH is working almost like antitop rubber.
