Blade description:
The Yinhe N-9 is an exceptional table tennis blade that combines speed, control, and affordability, making it a favorite among players looking for performance without breaking the bank. As a five-ply wooden blade, it boasts a balanced composition that provides solid feedback during play, making it particularly suited for offensive players who prioritize attack and precision in their game. The blade has garnered notable acclaim, achieving an overall rating of 9.3 based on multiple reviews, a testament to its impressive capabilities.
Weighing in at approximately 86 grams and featuring a thickness of around 6.6 to 7 mm, the Yinhe N-9 is classified as a medium-weight blade. Its weight contributes to its stability while allowing for swift maneuverability, appealing to fast-paced, aggressive play styles. The N-9’s stiffness, rated at 6.5, translates to enhanced power during smashes and blocks, although some users have noted that it may not be the best choice for looping due to its lower dwell time and less forgiving nature on soft shots.
Many players have highlighted the N-9’s flexibility and control, appreciating its large sweet spot and overall consistency during gameplay. However, potential players should consider alternatives like the Yinhe T-11+ or other blades such as the Yasaka Max Wood for different playing styles and preferences. Overall, the Yinhe N-9 stands out as a remarkable choice for both beginners and experienced players seeking high performance at a budget-friendly price, consistently proving to be a remarkable investment in one’s table tennis journey.

I acquired this blade as a gift from a colleague. I had a ping pong bat without rubbers that had been lying around for a year.
I equipped the blade with Hurricane 3 DHS.
I have owned and assembled several different blades, and this one is among the finest in my collection. It is well-rounded in all aspects.

Buy this cheap blade and cheap Chinese rubbers will become fast but not so good with hard rubbers. What a cheap set up for the offensive minded player! My team mate and I started with the N-9. As our game developed, we both moved onto other blades because there are better blades out there but not at this price.

BLADE!!!
My blade was STIGA WRB. The speed rating was 88, control was 90, weight = 85g, thickness = 6mm. In my opinion, these stats are perfect for all-around play. I used andro Rasanter R42 on forehand and andro Rasanter R48 on backhand. These rubbers are perfect for this blade. For those who love hitting hard, this blade and these rubbers are definitely perfect for you.
As for my experience, I have been using this blade for almost a year and I would recommend this blade to anybody. Especially for those who want to attack more. I would say STIGA WRB is best for intermediate to advanced players.
