Yinhe T-8

Very good blade for the price! Perfect for blocking and smashing, it’s also good for looping near the table with good technique. However, it’s not the best choice for looping far from the table. It’s remarkable value for its low price point.

Good blade, easy to play. It is an Off type, which means it is a fast offensive blade. It has 7 plies, including 2 plies of ALC. The thickness is approximately 6mm. My weight is about 85 grams.

This is a very fast, very hard blade. The quality is good. If you are used to max rubbers with hard sponge on some other blades, you may want to rethink your choice for this blade. It hits pretty well. I need a softer sponge to loop with it because the ball just jumps off this blade.

Update — I tried with some new rubbers. It is still great for put away, but my game as a whole suffers. I think this blade would work well for a hitter and/or someone who puts a lot of hours in. You can do some crazy shots with this if you handle it correctly.

This blade is fast, and the feedback is great. I can’t believe they are selling something like this at this price. With DHS Tin Arc 3 at the forehand and Haifu Whale 2 at the backhand, I hate to say this, but it outperforms my Zhang Jike blade.

This blade is much, much better than some of the expensive blades available on the market.

This blade is very stiff and bouncy, but it lacks a good top gear and has poor touch.

It has a cypress outer ply and carbon-arylate, which gives it a soft feeling despite being a hard blade.

It seems to have few gears: close to the table, it can be too fast (as it is very springy), while far from the table, it can be too slow.

The blade is light.

Some compare this blade with the Dawei Wavestone, which is more powerful far from the table and has better touch close to the table. However, the Wavestone is worse for brushing and has less power close to the table.

Fast blade with good control, suitable for blocking, smashing, topspins, and pushing. Impressive blade; I ordered another one. However, mine is thinner, measuring 6.1-6.2mm instead of the indicated 6.8mm.

This blade pairs well with various rubbers, making it adaptable to different playing styles from ALL to OFF+.

Update: I must lower the overall rating (the initial control was 9, and the overall rating was 9.5) after receiving the second blade. This time, it is 6.8mm thick, heavier, and plays differently from the first one. While it may be faster, it lacks feedback and control.

It appears there is inconsistency in the production of blades. I must give an average rating between the two blades.

Hey guys, I think this is a great blade for all loopers because the price is cheap. If it is compared to Spirit, this blade is faster. So keep making good blades :)

83g, 6.2mm (not 6.8mm)

5 plies of wood (not 3) + 2 arylate-carbon layers

Comparison to T-7:

The T-8 blade excels over the T-7 in the following aspects:

* Similar control: Both blades offer excellent control for accurate shot placement. * Lower spin sensitivity: The T-8 is less affected by incoming spin, allowing for more consistent strokes. * Same spin: The spin-generating capabilities of both blades are comparable. * Higher throw: The T-8 produces a slightly higher ball trajectory, resulting in more arc and dwell time. * Slightly higher top-speed: The T-8 provides a marginal increase in top-speed, enabling powerful fast loops and short high arc shots with ease.

This blade is constructed with Arylate-carbon, featuring Hinoki as the outer ply. It provides good control while also being fast. As a result, it is well-suited for blocking, smashing, and topspins. The blade delivers a satisfying “ping” sound with each smash. Any necessary adjustments have been made to the text for improved readability and clarity.

I was looking for a blade with speed and great control. I tried around 20 from different brands, including BTFly, Andro, Donic, DHS, and Galaxy. This blade, along with the Stiga TUBE carbon, is at the top of my list.

This blade has everything I need. I have two with Donic turbo X1 (FH), Donic Sonex Gold (BH), and Auda2 (BH) with XIOM Omega4 (FH).

If your style is mid-distance hard strokes, I highly recommend this blade.

A fabulous blade! I’ve consistently received Galaxy blades in great manufacturing shape. This blade is slightly smaller than my T-4 with a similarly comfortable handle. The slightly smaller head resulted in lighter weight set-ups.

The blade itself was light (83g) and well made. It’s a fast blade. It says “OFF,” but it’s very much an OFF+ to me. By thickness alone (6.8mm), it’s stiff, and the Arylate still gives good control. It takes some getting used to, but when you hit it right, there is a wonderful sweet-spot feel.

I have two blades, the DHS Wind CWD and the Butterfly Fire Hand. I just bought the Galaxy T8, and I play with a loop. It is very awesome; the blade can generate heavy spin and smash. This blade is my favorite now. I love it!

Since the quality control at Galaxy is not close to Butterfly’s, however, you might receive an occasional defect. This could explain the blatantly negative reviews on this blade. I recommend buying 2 of these blades and playing with the better one.

Also, if you can, ask the store to send you a blade with exactly 86g weight.

Great dwell time for such a fast blade with no vibration.

It appears to be a toy paddle at the price of a toy paddle. The performance is significantly inferior to TBS and Maze; it is not comparable to Joola Fever and Markovic. While it offers decent control, the speed is poor away from the table, and it is too soft. I agree with Seguso: this is not a serious paddle. Some adjustments to the phrasing may be necessary.

Review text:

Love it. Plays extremely well from virtually anywhere. Plenty of power with a surprising amount of touch.

One of the best OFF blades on the market. Instead of spending 180 dollars on Amultart, buy this one for $35 or less. It performs very confidently (especially if you find the right rubbers for it) and excels in blocking, kill shots, general flat game, and power looping. It has the best control of almost all T-series blades. It’s not as incredibly fast, carbon-ping-y, or zero-dwell time-y as T-1, T-2, or T-4. It’s a great blade for a fast attacker who sometimes plays in the OFF- style or for those who cannot control their favorite rubbers on T-4 or even faster blades.

I rate this as one of my best blades, along with my T-4. I play a mid-distance offensive game where I attack on both wings. I have 2.1 (Max) red Donic JO Platain Soft with Hurricane 3 black 2.2 mm on my BH.

I play loop and topspin from any distance on both wings but like to sidespin loop and topspin from my FH. This blade has fantastic control when playing with fast rubbers, but I can still BH chop and block.

I have also had 729 Higher 2 on both sides in 2.2 mm that played well. I do tend to alternate between blades depending on who I am playing against. Great price from Ebay at under £21.00 including shipping. My father has also bought one at £18.00. Beat that, Butterfly!!!

This blade offers excellent value for its price point, combining fast play with exceptional ball dwell time. Since the implementation of the glue ban, it has become my preferred choice. While its speed is notable, it remains manageable, striking a balance that suits a wide range of players.

I have played with the Spirit with Sriver EL, a set that cost me $150 US. The T-8 with Banda Sigma in 2.0mm on both sides is not only better but only $55 total - $30 including shipping for the blade on eBay and $25 for both sides of Sigma from Dandoy-Sports.

Just glued it today with regular glue, but it feels speed glued. The combination felt better than the Spirit for 1/3 the price.

I played the Spirit and Level 91 as well. Both are very good blades, but I think the T-8 is slightly better. It is faster and assisted a fast-playing game near the table and half distance. It is harder than the Spirit and softer than the Level 91. Because of that, the throwing angle of the ball is a little bit lower than with the Spirit. In short-short play, it is also very controlled and has a great feeling.

Best blade I have ever bought. It is Arylate Carbon for the price of a toy paddle. It plays much better than my Timo Boll Spirit, which I recommend too. But this blade is very consistent, comfortable, and is light and powerful. It is only $20 on eBay.
