Yinhe T-11s

Lightweight, very fast, quality blade. And cheap! Comfortable handle. Unfortunately, it lacks feeling—it’s very demanding in the short game. All the strokes have to be active, otherwise it feels dead. You can loop with it, you can put some serious spin on your serve, but it’s really not easy. This blade is made for powerful finishing and smashes rather than looping. Overall, I didn’t like it.

I recently bought a new T11s to replace my old T11+, which had a torn outer layer during regluing rubber. For quick comparison, I would say that this T11s is 5% slower and 10% heavier than the old T11+. But the T11+ has a bad characteristic: the outer layer sticks to the glue very strongly, so it is difficult to remove old glue when regluing; the outer layer even gets torn when I remove the rubber quickly. I hope the new T11s will not have this problem. Let’s see at the next rubber replacing.

In short, the T11s is slower, heavier than T11+.

I am using the penhold version, and it weighs 69 grams. It is by far the fastest and lightest blade I’ve tested and one that I’ve stuck with for over a year now. It is fast enough that I am using unboosted Hurricane 3 Neo on both sides, and it still maintains great speed without sacrificing control. It is still good for looping with the right technique, but where it shines is off-the-bounce smashes and flicks. I am a 1500 USATT rated player. I recommend it to anyone with an aggressive attacking style.

Boa noite. Eu consegui utilizá-la com PF4-40 no forehand e Tornado V5 no backhand. Precisei do auxílio do óleo mineral, mais ou menos 5 camadas de óleo para amolecer as borrachas. Isso aumentou o dwell time da raquete, trazendo um grande equilíbrio. Estou fazendo o mesmo processo com duas Battle 2 Provincial 38 graus; acredito que vai ficar melhor, devido a ser uma borracha bem melhor e mais pegajosa, para aumentar ainda mais o dwell time. Obs.: nos dias de umidade, é um problema a borracha chinesa em geral. Vou tentar levar água morna desmineralizada para limpar com algodão durante os jogos e partidas para manter a aderência das borrachas.

I’ve been using it for 6 months now. Glayzer 09c on the forehand and Tenergy 19 on the backhand. Just amazing.

I recently started playing at a new club and noticed many players using the Yinhe T11S blade. I decided to try it myself and immediately appreciated how light it felt. My previous setup was a Yinhe V14 Pro blade paired with DHS Gold Arc 8 and Butterfly Tenergy 19 rubbers, totaling 189 grams. While I enjoyed that setup, playing four times a week at age 42 started to cause soreness in my elbow and shoulder. I was looking for a lighter alternative, and the T11S turned out to be an excellent choice.

My T11S blade weighs just 70 grams, and with Vega Korea and Bluegrip V1 rubbers, the total weight comes to 170 grams. Although it is only 19 grams lighter, this difference significantly impacts my play, especially as I train around 12 hours weekly. I feel more connected to the ball and notice improved control compared to my previous setup, yet the blade remains fast.

For my backhand, especially when playing further from the table, the Vega Korea rubber performs better on the T11S than the Tenergy 19 did on the V14 Pro. Overall, I believe this blade will be my preferred choice for a long time.

Speed?

A guy had two of this one. One with Dignics09c and one with Tenergy 19.

I first had Glayzer09c 1.9 FH.

Now I have H3 BS Prov 39 FH and Xiom EU H 2.0 BH.

Difference is a bit when playing far from table. The power and speed shift dramatically with softer, mushier rubber.

So if you gonna play this, choose a medium rubber like Glayzer09c or Tenergy 19.

I modded my blade from 68g to 63g. Have a total weight at 156g.

Still not a fan about the thickness. Good blade for its price point.

I would suggest a Viscaria instead if you play anything remotely to the BS and 39-40 degrees, cause the blade, even with carbon, is too soft overall.

If you like a stiff and light blade, it’s the right choice. To produce good spin, it requires a very good technique, otherwise you keep hitting drives. It is interesting to play with short pips (thin sponge) or OX long pips for attacking. It is not a blade for everyone, so if you are considering it, maybe you already have a good idea of the features to look for. Good build quality, good price, very light, fast, and stiff. It is definitely enjoyable to have fun during training, but way less during tournaments unless you have particular needs.

Specific blade. I was looking for a light blade, saw a popular and light one. At first I was happy that Battle 2 Gold + Jupiter 3 became much lighter on this blade. I liked the speed, but when I began to understand that there was no delay, it became difficult for me to react to fast balls, and even thick rubbers did not help much. The blade is very suitable for flat, strong hits for those who like the middle zone too. Thick sticky pads help to give a delay on the blade.

Decent blade. Good feel, control, and block. Loops are kinda hard. Overall, I would recommend to intermediate players.

This is my first Yinhe blade, and I’m amazed by its performance, quality, and feel while playing is amazing. The blade itself is OFF+ and I can say it is very fast; also, control is very good for such a fast blade, so I have managed to handle some attacks and heavy balls that caused me problems before. I used to play mostly with Joola Viking, Joola K4, and BTY Grubba Carbon among others… Rubbers I have combined are DHS G888 black on FH and Huieson Crazy Speed on BH side, both tuned with paraffin oil in two passes, which increased their spin and affected the speed a little bit. This combination is perfect for me, and the whole racket cost around 60€, which is amazing. I manage to handle transitions with a flick from both sides, attack close to the table and mid-distance, and the block is more controllable than any other blade so far and surprisingly fast, so it puts your opponent under pressure all the time. Rubbers themselves require accommodation for chops and serves, as they are tacky, but after a few trainings, everything fits perfectly. I’m not sure how it will perform with European or Japanese tensor rubbers, but I will stick to this combination for some time, as it is amazing and allows a lot of variations.

Updated: Switched rubbers to: BH — Donic Bluefire M2 and FH — Palio AK-47 Red… fast, spinny for perfect attack, even flicks are acceptable, but not so good in chops and blocks, need more training to be able to provide objective feedback.

After a few weeks I give up, this is too fast for me and my skills, I’m not able to establish control… so I replace the rubbers with Tibhar VariSpin and Yasaka Mark V GPS, played for a few weeks, nice for blocks and smashes, but for spin and loops, or chops… not so good. Plan to put classic rubbers a bit slower.

Good: blade is light and very fast. Good on forehand.

Bad: sound is loud and hollow, like if you would be hitting with a ceramic tile. Everyone in a club asks you if you have a new blade and what it is. I took rubbers down and gave a blade away. Will never use it again. Also control on backhand is bad.

I have bought four Yinhe / Galaxy blades over the years and thought I should do a review on the T11S whilst I’m currently using one. Originally bought the T11 a few years back because they were cheap and light with the Palio AK47 rubbers which was very light and the perfect solution for the kids to use.

I decided at the end of the season that I would try a few new rubbers and would dig out some T11s that I had acquired a while back for spares, considering they were so cheap. I needed a lighter setup due to a wrist injury I acquired while working, so these seemed a good option after I could not find any that were lighter (72g) at such a cheap price (£16).

Now, I did not expect great things, but every now and then you find a perfect little gem, and this is an unbelievable blade for the money. Very light making it easy on the arm, plenty fast enough to smash your opponent to the other side of the room, and so unnoticeable that you forget you’re using a cheap blade and have to keep checking that this bat is really too good for the money.

The only slight thing that I did not like is that the edge of the blade is very square, which made it feel sharper than normal where my backhand finger went. I used 600-grit wet and dry on it, which I use on glass to polish scratches.

The end result is that I have a great, fast, consistent, smooth (after sanding) bat which I enjoy playing with.

My Yinhe T-11S. Weight: 72g with FL handle. Thickness: 7.5mm. Balsa core, carbon layer FH and BH, light hardwood finish.

Xiom Vega X pad fits very well on my backhand.

It is a bullet! You can place a shot anywhere you want with unlimited speed. Also, the sound is absolutely amazing.

The sound of balsa, very lightweight, but too fast for me (Rakza 7 Soft max / Xtend max).

Need a good technique to loop, but not impossible. Very good at finishing.

I am an amateur player. I bought this blade from AliExpress. Paired, first with Battle 2 gold on FH, that combination was really difficult to control. When I put Yasaka Rakza 7 soft in max thickness, it was a miracle! Control was superb, serve was super controlled, block was consistent, active block superfast and precise, FH chop fast, linear and strong, and the best thing, for me, the strongest weapon on the planet was the fast strong smash! Any ball, with strong or weak spin, just a little high from the net, could be executed, for me with an easy hit! With a spinny-high loop, it was the same! Just BAM!!! Paired on BH with k.o.exteeme, 1.3 thickness, and it worked extraordinarily! Little dwell time, and carbon and balsa gave me superb control. Active block was easy; I just put the racket on the coming ball. Smash was easy, and I didn’t need power in stroke. Chopping was easy, but not so hard for opponents. Active game on the table was dangerous for the opponent and changed the rhythm of the game. To sum up, an excellent-light-offensive and must have blade for attack-minded players!

Yhine T11s provides extraordinary control. Combined with a Jupiter 3 (forehand) and a Mercury 2 (backhand), you can place the ball precisely. It’s difficult to miss a shot with such an incredibly light blade. The blade produces no vibrations.

The Yhine T11s is significantly slower than the Yhine T10s but offers much more control. The shots are fast, not exceptionally powerful, but very precise. This enables you to keep the ball on the table more consistently.

The Yhine T11s is an extremely affordable and high-quality blade. An equivalent balsa blade from European brands would cost significantly more. It offers an exceptional price-to-quality ratio.

Speed

This blade has excellent speed, making it suitable for fast-paced, offensive play. It allows players to generate powerful shots with ease.

Topspin

The blade’s design facilitates topspin generation, providing players with the control and spin necessary for effective topspin shots.

Hi guys! I need an opinion on which rubber I should put for this blade, Jupiter 3 or Battle 2 for FH? And do you have any recommendations on which rubber I should put for BH along with the rubbers I mentioned for the FH? Thank you!

The Yinhe T11S is an exceptional offensive blade. It is constructed with Balsa and Carbon layers, featuring a softer outer layer. When paired with Waran 2.0mm short pips and Xiom Omega rubber 2.0mm, it enhances the catapult effect, facilitating the execution of topspins and shots.

However, due to its overall hardness, controlling backhand shots can be demanding, making it less suitable for novice players. In comparison to my previous Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC, the Yinhe T11S offers greater consistency and speed, delivering an outstanding playing experience.

With Limba top ply, Outer carbon structure, and Balsa core, you have a devastating weapon when combined with dynamic sponge rubbers (tensor ESN/Japan rubbers). Adding a little more forward arm movement in every stroke and the ball becomes a bullet. Slow/soft play great & easy to control placement. And it’s dirt cheap, only $20 for such high quality from Yinhe.

Very fast, great control. Very light. Excellent finish!

YINHE T11s features an updated appearance design from its predecessors (T11, T11+) with a gold tag adorning the handle. Its overall finish is exceptional, with an incredibly smooth outer limba surface that feels remarkably soft to the touch.

In terms of performance, its speed and control are comparable to the Sardius or Schalager blades, while maintaining a lighter weight. However, it’s not recommended for beginners, all-round players, or defensive types unless they possess advanced skills and knowledge in choosing suitable rubbers to pair with this blade.

YINHE T11s is ideal for aggressive players who prioritize attacking with a combination of medium soft to medium hard rubber or short pips on either the forehand or backhand side. I personally use Fastarc G1 (max) on the forehand and short pips on the backhand.

While the blade performs well in attacking techniques such as loops, top spins, smashes, and rallies away from the table, it requires some adaptation for active or push blocks. Passive blocks can be challenging to return, making it difficult for opponents to counter. Given its excellent quality and affordable price point, the YINHE T11s is a highly recommended alternative for experienced and skilled players.
