Overall, the Yinhe T-10 is a top-quality table tennis blade that caters to the needs of advanced players seeking exceptional speed, control, and consistency in their game.
Amazing blade. I have tried many other blades but I always come back to this one. Even though it is a bit thick, it is very well balanced, lightweight, and therefore lays very well in my hand. Great feeling and effortless looping are easily possible with satisfactory control. It is faster than the T11. I use this blade with Palio AK 47 Blue rubbers, which is a great combination for offensive players. I highly recommend it. The total weight is below 150 grams, and the blade weighs approximately 70g.
Review 1: JAN, 2018: Horrible blade, bought for experimentation. There was zero feeling in my hand and no feedback, so I couldn’t control the ball. It was useless crap.
UPDATE — 11 SEPTEMBER, 2018: How wrong I was when I first used it! The wrong rubbers and my unsuitable technique were the problem. Now I am so happy with it. I am using Hurricane 3 (boosted) red + palio Hadaou black. It’s an amazingly speedy and super-fast blade with a super light feel. It’s a bit blunt, but I still like it. Control with Hurricane 3 is amazing. This blade is very good with slow Chinese rubbers and it has also improved my backhand.
This blade is distinguished by its exceptional speed, stiffness, and lightness.
Strengths:
- Ideal for loopers with refined technique but limited power, where loops exhibit excessive spin and inadequate speed. — Particularly effective in enhancing the velocity of opening loops. — Bh opening loops, which were previously spin-heavy but often landed short or high, have become a notable strength. — Opponents are hesitant to push long to either fh or backhand due to the blade’s capabilities.
Weaknesses:
- Loops inevitably lose some spin compared to, for example, Ebenholz V. However, this trade-off is compensated by a significant gain in speed. — Bh (banana) flips, which were previously executed on all short underspin services, now have limited effectiveness. Only moderate spinny services can be flipped.
Notable Features:
- This blade surpasses other T series blades in terms of quality. — The outer ply (cypress) is notably thick, unlike T1, T2, t4, T8, etc. — Its composition includes balsa, carbon, and cypress. — Cypress is characterized by its springiness, which enhances opening loops. This differs significantly from Koto wood, which is hard but not particularly fast.
Modifications:
- The blade’s weight has been increased by applying four layers of vinyl glue (Vinavil) around its border. This has augmented its weight from 70 grams to 74 grams. Additionally, this measure provides enhanced protection for the fragile balsa wood, surpassing the efficacy of poly.
Recommended Pairing:
- The blade pairs well with M2 2.0 rubber on both the forehand and backhand. — Looping against underspin becomes devastatingly effective.
Additional Note:
- The blade is slightly oversized compared to the Clipper, approximately 1mm larger. This factor should be considered when accounting for the added weight of the rubbers used.
