Yinhe N-4

91 grams, build quality is good. Sharp edges. N-4 S. I’ve paired it with Mercury 2 Medium on both sides. It’s a looping blade with a long and high arc, so I couldn’t play close to the table, only from mid distance or even from farther away. It has some kick (without having a carbon layer) — I’m looping, looping, and then — boom! I either overshoot or surprise the opponent with a suddenly faster ball. Very decent speed, by the way. It doesn’t play flat hits too well, I didn’t like how it plays over the table (like driving closer to the table). It plays backhand strokes (including the banana flick) surprisingly well, though. Final thoughts: not my cup of tea. For continuous looping from away only (imo), which isn’t my style of play.

It has a decent speed and is one of the most controllable 7-ply blades you can get. It offers value for money at a very low price.

I paired this with the Galaxy Jupiter, one of my favorite set ups so far! It’s a slightly heavier blade, but the control and spin are great. Just make sure you clean your rubbers regularly. Otherwise, you’ll lose spin and loop due to the tacky Jupiter rubber, not the blade. I just ordered another one of these blades and am going to pair it with a different rubber on the backhand this time.

Nice blade. Paired with Chinese rubbers, it’ll make a good racket. I played with Butterfly’s Timo Boll All+ and there isn’t much difference, except for the sound it makes, which is kinda hollow.
