Yinhe M-6

It is cheap and nice, not the best, but reasonably priced.

This was one of my first blades when I started playing Cpen. Until then, I used modified shakehand blades. This blade is great to learn the game because it is fast but not lightning quick. It has minimal vibration and is good for the short game because of its hardness.

But it has some flex, and you can loop with it as well. The loops will not have a high arc. It works well with slightly tacky rubbers. Sriver felt dead on this blade because the dwell time is not very high.

Build quality is good, and it’s very cheap. You really can’t go wrong with it.

This is a medium flex, hard-surfaced blade with exceptional power. In my opinion, it is a true OFF classed blade and perhaps the best blade from Galaxy’s original M and W series.

It shines in long-range looping and all-round offensive play. It plays between a Clipper and Stiga OC CR.

Good control only. All+ speed is given as 9, but I would rate it as 8.5. Nice blade for playing an all-around spin game. I use it with 729 Focus 2 1.8mm on both sides.

It’s a little too slow for my away-from-the-table spin game, but great for playing those slow defensive choppers or push players. As usual for Yinhe, the blade has a nice finish.

This was my first blade.

It’s not as fast as the manufacturer claims it is. However, it’s great for learning the game. I used it with LKT Rapid Soft rubbers on both sides.

This blade is great for blocking and has great control. The price is also great.

The Stiga M-6 table tennis blade is designed similarly to the Clipper, but with a more pronounced arc and improved flex and dwell time. Despite not being an exceptionally fast blade, it offers remarkable control for a relatively quick blade.

The M-6 measures approximately 6mm in thickness and features a standard Stiga head size, which is larger compared to most Butterfly blades.

The handle is on the thinner side, providing a comfortable grip but not as thin as the “pencil thin” handle found on the Stiga Acoustic blade.

Overall, the Stiga M-6 is an outstanding blade at an affordable price point. It combines excellent control with a decent level of speed, making it a suitable choice for players seeking balance and precision in their game.
