Yinhe T-11s

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

This is my first Yinhe blade, and I’m amazed by its performance, quality, and feel while playing.

The blade itself is OFF+, and I can say it is very fast. The control is also very good for such a fast blade, allowing me 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.

The rubbers I have combined are DHS G888 black on the forehand and Hueison Crazy speed on the backhand side, both tuned with paraffin oil in two passes, which increased their spin and slightly affected the speed. 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. Blocking is more controllable than with any other blades so far and surprisingly fast, so it puts your opponent under pressure all the time. The rubbers themselves require accommodation for chops and serves, as they are tacky, but after a few training sessions, 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. These are fast and spinny for perfect attacks, and even flicks are acceptable, but not so good in chops and blocks. I need more training to be able to provide objective feedback.

After a few weeks, I gave up. This setup is too fast for me and my skills, and I’m not able to establish control. So I replaced the rubbers with Tibhar VariSpin and Yasaka Mark V Soft GPS. Played for a few weeks; nice for blocks and smashes, but for spin, loops, or chops…not so good. I plan to put on classic rubbers that are a bit slower.

Decent blade.

It offers good feel, control, and blocking capabilities. However, looping is somewhat difficult.

Overall, I would recommend this blade to intermediate players.

I was looking for a light blade and came across this specific one, which seemed popular. Initially, I was happy because the combination of Battle 2 Gold and Jupiter 3 became much lighter on this blade.

I liked the speed, but I soon realized there was no dwell time. This made it difficult to react to fast balls, and even thick rubbers didn’t help much.

This blade is very suitable for flat, strong hits and for players who like to play in the middle zone. Thick, sticky rubbers can help to provide some dwell time on the blade.

If you like stiff and light blades, this is the right choice. However, to produce good spin, it requires very good technique; otherwise, you’ll keep hitting drives.

It’s interesting to play with short pips (thin sponge) or OX long pips for attacking. This blade isn’t for everyone, so if you’re considering it, you probably already have a good idea of the features you’re looking for.

It boasts good build quality, a good price, and is very light, fast, and stiff. It’s definitely enjoyable for having fun during training, but less so during tournaments, unless you have particular needs.

Good: The blade is light and very fast, performing well on forehand strokes.

Bad: The sound produced is loud and hollow, reminiscent of hitting a ceramic tile. The sound was so noticeable that it drew attention, with other club members constantly inquiring about the new blade. Ultimately, I removed the rubbers and gave the blade away due to the poor control on backhand strokes and irritating sound. I have no intention of using it again.
